About the event
Piotr Olszewski: Photography
The Octagon, 888 Main Street, Roosevelt Island, NY 10044
On view: July 1 - October 4, 2025
Reception: Saturday, September 20, 5-8 PM
Travel the backroads of America through the lens of Piotr Olszewski, whose photographs explore color and contrast, nostalgia and movement, desolate desert highways and bustling city streets, Route 66 gas stations and vibrant street portraits.
Raised in communist Warsaw and Budapest, Piotr found artistic freedom in photography after immigrating to New York in 1989. Inspired by the Capa brothers and Weegee, his work blends emotion, energy, and story. This solo exhibition features photographs taken across the U.S. and captures the beauty of both landscape and humanity, from quiet moments of solitude to scenes bursting with playfulness and personality.
