IN YOUR FACE – Inna Levinson

About

As we watch the world through the screen, the screen gazes back at us. It may notice our fingers sliding frenetically over the surface, navigating a thousa​nd open tabs. Our most human expressions are increasingly experienced digitally; the perception of our surroundings have become distorted in scale​. Painter Inna Levinson addresses these phenomena, as well as our behavioural patterns in the digital world, as she translates them into the classic medium of painting. With varying thickness of applied oil, the digital feel of the image collides with the raw haptics of the partly exposed canvas.

Inna Levinson (born 1984 in Lviv, Ukraine) graduated in 2014 with a MFA in Fine Arts from the University of the Arts (UdK) in Berlin. Prior to this, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts (Avu) and the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design (VŠUP) in Prague, Czech Republic. Her works have been shown, amongst others, at Circle Culture, Berlin (solo, 2018), Allouche Gallery, New York (2017), Ten Haaf Projects, Amsterdam (solo, 2015), Meetfactory, Prague (2010), as well as in 2008 at the Moscow International Biennale for Young Art. Levinson lives and works in Berlin.
