Oschatz, 1981

Residency period at Piramidón:  
From February to April 2024  
   
Work:  

Her fast and colorful paintings satirize the consumerist aesthetic of contemporary society by depicting daily life in the digital age. The central symbol in her work is the "surface" —social, cultural, and material.

In the hyperreal and immaterial world of the internet, visual appearance takes precedence, representing an artificial and superficial resistance to mortality. They use synthetic materials such as latex canvas and glossy acrylic to explore this dynamic, considering their work a psychological reflection of a consumerist society striving to evade its own finitude.
