Olexander Wlasenko; Salon

Salon was inspired by the 1965 Italian film Io la conoscevo bene, which translates as I Knew Her Well.  The film follows a small town girl who wants to make inroads into the Roman entertainment industry.  With Salon, Olexander had Edward Hopper's isolated paintings in mind.  The deserted scenario feels evacuated of a human presence.  Inner dramas are concealed behind closed doorways and urban portals.
