Life

Anemona Crisan moved to Austria in 1991, where she first grew up in Innsbruck. In 2002 she went to the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna . Here she studied fine arts between 2002 and 2011 (initially with Walter Obholzer and Erwin Bohatsch ) and graduated in 2011 with Gunter Damisch .

Works

Anemona Crisan's central medium is the drawing, which she explores in various formats, from works on paper and canvas to large-scale installations. Thematically, her works revolve around the subjects of body, architecture and technology. The starting point is always the human body: “In these pictorial worlds that oscillate between the figurative and the abstract, the artist negotiates questions of identity ... Her often androgynous, stereotypical figures are covered, penetrated, interwoven, threatened and protected at the same time by plastic structures. Like the social system that shapes us and is also shaped by us, which is both home and battlefield, these structures are ambivalent. "

In the intervention Breaking Into the Interior in the Zachęta - National Gallery of Art Warsaw (2014), “Anemona Crisan appropriated the space through a gesture of annexation. This approach is characteristic of many of her previous works. The artist penetrates the space at will, is not afraid of disturbing it, of tipping over, of changing it according to her own ideas and concepts. "

Anemona Crisan published the book The Anatomy of Space in 2014 . The title describes her artistic examination of the relationship between architecture and people.
