About the Item

Xenia Ostrovskaya was born on August 7, 1989 in Leningrad, Soviet Union. She lives and works in Vienna. The artist explores ideas of heritage and belonging in her work, juxtaposing the Anthropocene world and her memorabilia with sculptural representations of flora and fauna. The nostalgia of her postcards is transformed into a sombre background for the magical realism of the disproportionate main figures. Analytical precision meets the poetic whole through her extraordinary attention to detail, which gives her images both vividness and a touch of the uncanny. Ostrovskaya is also a sculptor and works with porcelain, pursuing her interest in depictions of nature.

Love of My Life
Located in Wien, 9
Xenia Ostrovskaya ist der letzte Neuzugang zum Pool der Künstler, die die Galerie vertritt und ihre witzigen übermalten Postkarten haben schon beim ersten Auftritt auf einer Messe eine fulminante Resonanz gehabt, dem ein „Gallery Statement“ auf der Parallel folgen wird, wo ihre Arbeiten ein eine Installation integriert sind. Seit einigen Jahren konzentriert Xenia Ostrovsakya Ihr Werk auf Übermalungen von alten Postenkarten, denen Sie mit wenigen Pinselstrichen eine neue Botschaft gibt, oder bestehende Botschaften verstärkt und verfremdet. Gerne arbeitet Sie dabei mit Kriegsmotiven, aber auch klassischen alten Ansichtskarten, die oft mit Pflanzen und Tieren (vorzugsweise Schmetterlinge und ihre Puppen). In Ihren letzten Arbeiten zu der Love of My Life...
