The Russian artist Anna Khodorkovskaya (Moscow 1985) studied in the class for abstract painting with Erwin Bohatsch at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. She is the winner of the STRABAG Artaward International 2014 and caused a sensation early on with her numerous, often web-based art projects, such as ArtStreamShop. Trashy pieces from flyers and advertisements can be found as fragments and traces on the artist's unprimed canvases of early works. Paper scraps from advertising brochures served as models, which were transformed painterly and processed into abstract images. Currently, Khodorkovskaya is devoting herself to a technique that is unusual in contemporary art: the mosaic. The artist uses hundreds of small glass stones to create haunting and often ambiguous word games and messages.
