Xenia Gottenkieny
Multidisciplinary artist. Living and working in Rotterdam (NL)
In her artistic practice Xenia Gott prefers an intuitive approach when she captures her random (online) impressions into figurative collage sketches ..
Influenced by shape, color and rhythm Xenia combines layer upon layer with drawings, texts, and magazine snippets.
She's found this randomized method appeals to her imagination and works well with the fragmentary manner in which she paints her stories on canvas.
Some recurring themes in her works are: society, city & struggle.
Exhibitions / performances: Art Blaak House, W139, Melkweg gallery 'Graukunst', Paradiso, Incubate festival, Liberation festival, Route du Nord, Photo festival Schiedam, Worm, Roodkapje, Municipality of Rotterdam, See Me (Times Square, NY), HAFF ..
Co-Founder of non-profit organization Plus-X-Creative (2013).
Its main aim: to play an active and supporting role in providing a platform for creative empowerment.
