About the Item

Xenia Ostrovskaya, born in 1989, is a visual artist from Saint Petersburg. She studied ceramics and porcelain painting at Saint Petersburg State University. This was followed in 2015 by studies at the University of Applied Arts, in the class for graphics and printmaking under the direction of Professor Jan Svenungsson. The artist lives and works in Vienna. This is a mixed media collage on canvas by Xenia Ostrovskaya, featuring a surreal and symbolic composition. The central motive - a large, ghostly wolf hovering over a young girl - evokes themes of protection, danger and blurred boundaries between reality and fantasy. The girl, dressed in a red coat, immediatly recalls the fairy tale of ,,Little Red Riding Hood", but instead of a direct retelling, the composition suggests a more ambiguous relationship between the two figures. The wolf, rather than appearing purely menacing, seems to embody both a guardian and a lurking threat, reflecting the duality of wildness and guidance.

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).
