Watch for more details!
Husband-and-wife artist team Aleksey and Olga Ivanov are bringing their visionary work to Howell Gallery in Oklahoma City, with their new April solo show Blooming West. Each of their thirteen unique egg tempera pieces are meant to spark conversations about the sacred beauty and exquisite isolation of the desert, and to explore the soul’s primal connection to the wild, to the untamed and the often underappreciated.
The show will celebrate the more iconic themes of the west—cattle, cowboys, towering clouds and vivid skies—but also those fleeting moments of grace often discovered by chance: a shadow cast across a cactus bloom; a young frontier girl facing her future, dreams in her eyes; a solitary prickly poppy framed against rolling hills.
It’s a very personal show for them. The Ivanovs have lived in the American West for decades and feel an especially deep connection to the desert. “Some people love it at once, and some people don’t. We’ve loved it from first sight,” says Olga. “If you’re driving along in the lonely desert and you see a car stopped by the side of the road, that’s us. We’re off in the distance, photographing everything beautiful before us, plants and creatures and landscapes that have existed for thousands of years, and are still blooming today.”
They hope their work will resonate with others who love the West as they do, for its timeless enchantment, for its eloquent allure, brushed across the land and in their art.

Nick’s travels began in the United States with painting locales in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, California and Michigan. His travels then took him to Canada followed by Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Italy.
This journey left an indelible mark on Nick’s recent works and style of painting. Back in his Oklahoma studio, he was able to revisit these amazing places as he created his new collection of paintings.
