“THE INFLATABLE APPEARANCE IS A WAY TO DEPICT OUR VULNERABLE NATURE – JUST A MOMENTARY PINPRICK IS ENOUGH SOMETIMES TO DESTROY. SO, FOR ME, IT’S ALL ABOUT SELF-COGNITION AND INTERACTIONS: ALL THE FIGURES, LIKE BALLOONS, ARE FLOATING IN THEIR OWN PENSIVE UNIVERSE.”
- AKS MISYUTA
Comprising painting and sculpture, Aks Misyuta’s (b. 1984 in Bryansk, RU) introspective practice assembles a collection of enigmatic and romantic figures captured in moments of idleness. Her “time-wasters,” as she ironically calls them, represent quiet rebels defying societal expectations. Playing with contrasts and shadows, Misyuta paints sculptural figures that seem carved into canvas. In so doing, she infuses her work with a monumentality, deftly counterbalanced by the dreamlike and ethereal quality of her compositions. Recurring motifs such as nylon tights and wristwatches with no hands serve as vehicles for the artist’s meditations on the passage of time, loss, change, and the vulnerability of existence. Merging gravity with drollness, Misyuta’s painted and sculpted characters are akin to balloons about to burst. Throughout her body of work, she converts inner concerns and emotions into seemingly tangible yet precarious entities, thereby exposing cracked social masks and fragile facades.
