At once intimate and cinematic, these paintings offer a glimpse into the artist’s interior world, tracing emotional states of heartbreak, exhilaration, uncertainty, and adventure.
5-50 Gallery is pleased to present Dog Days, a solo exhibition by Emily Olszewski. Featuring a new series of paintings, the exhibition explores the languid intensity of summer through the perspective of a woman entering the later stages of young adulthood. Across these works, Olszewski captures the fragile tension between freedom and responsibility, where days spent in the sun—swimming, tanning, drifting—are shadowed by the quiet but persistent presence of the future.
