deutsch

Als Künstlerin die in Kanada geboren wurde und deren Wurzeln in Schottland und England, Russland und der Ukraine liegen und die erst spät die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft angenommen hat, ist Lana Svirezheva stark für die Grenzen, Zwischenräume und Grauzonen der Gesellschaft sensibilisiert. Zusammen mit ihrer klassischen Malerei-Ausbildung und interdisziplinären Methoden ensteht so ein unnachahmlich figurativ-experimenteller Stil. Mit schwingenden, mäandernden Linien tastet Svirezheva sich an ihre Subjekte heran, ob aus dem Gedächtnis oder in Natura spielt hierbei eine untergeordnete Rolle, da ihr künstlerischer Prozess das bloß Wirkliche immer auch anreichert und in eine kritische Distanz zur gesellschaftlichen Norm setzt. Im Zentrum der Arbeiten stehen oft Menschen, die wenig gesellschaftliche Sichtbarkeit haben und deren Lebensweise und Ästhetische Identität gesellschaftliche Normen implizit hinterfragen. Der metabolische Einfluss von Wahrnehmung und Erinnerung führt dazu, dass die Figuren, entsprechend der Ästhetik des Manierismus und des Butoh-Tanzes, oft grotesk übzeichnet und dennoch zutiefst menschlich sind.

english

I am a German artist of Canadian, Scottish, Russian, Ukrainian, Lebanese and Jewish origin. After ten years of living and studying in Scandinavia, Scotland, Hawai'i, and Pomerania, I now work from the Rechenzentrum cultural center in Potsdam.

My artistic training spans academic techniques, art theory, as well as collaborative and interdisciplinary creative practices. In terms of imagery, I increasingly draw from memory with a focus on the physicality of people and animals. With far from photographic recollections, I draw my way to figures I saw only briefly and/or long ago, by focusing on highly individual, expressive gestures as starting points: A homeless woman massaging her foot, a boy’s double chin and toothy grin, a whippet’s slender head slipping out of its collar. Essentially, my drawings and paintings reflect on historical, social and psychological rhythms in the tradition of humanist artists such as Paul Holz.
