About the Item

Born in 1989 in Leningrad, USSR. Lives and works in Vienna. Xenia Ostrovskaya, born in 1989 in Saint Petersburg, is a visual artist who specializes in ceramics and porcelain painting. She studied at the Saint Petersburg State University. In 2015, she continued her academic journey at the University of Applied Arts, where she studied graphic design and printmaking under the guidance of Professor Jan Svenungsson. In her artistic work, Ostrovskaya explores themes of communication, interaction, and the engagement with the past. Her analog collages are created on old postcards and cityscapes, reflecting a connection between tradition and the present. Work: In her body of work Ostrovskaya explores ideas of heritage and belonging, juxtaposing the manmade world and its memorabilia with vivid depictions of flora and fauna. The nostalgia of her postcards is transformed into a foil for her magic realism. Analytical precision meets the poetic whole through her extraordinary skill with detail, imbuing her pictures with both liveliness and a touch of the uncanny. Ostrovskaya is also active as a sculptor, delving into the possibilities of porcelain in pursuing her interest of 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).

Reimago
By Nora See

“Good artists borrow. Great artists steal.” A quote oft attributed to various sources that was never actually uttered by any of them. Though Mark Twain elaborated on the sentiment: “Ninety-nine parts of all things that proceed from the intellect are plagiarisms.” In the Framed Series, I use my 1% contribution to combine issues of consumption with my autobiography. I paint copies of copies of paintings within paintings to reference the appropriation, commodification, and altered continuum of art. My paintings of paintings are based on photographs of originals to perpetuate the continual distillation of form, given the ease with which images are presently exchanged and modified. Further, by reducing historically significant paintings to framed objects hanging on walls, I augment art as a commodity and reconcile the conflict between the artificially assigned monetary value of artworks with the reality that they are simply swirls of paint. In this way, I am also acknowledging the literality of my own work. I have also altered each copied painting to personalize the context of the pieces and address specific autobiographical ideas. These ideas relate to a range of both recent and distant experiences, both funny and sad. Although my initial renderings are digital image composites, my medium of choice is oil paint, applied in transparent layers, using the image on the computer screen as a reference. In addition to its lush visual properties, I enjoy the flexibility of oil paint in making acute renderings as well as the evolution of the imagery from paint to digital and back to paint in further protracting both the distillation and evolution of form. statement on piece "The character Jame Gumb, from the 1991 film and 1988 book, The Silence of the Lambs...
