The week’s encounter in our Arts Friday’s "Studio Conversations" features Lea Rasovszky (b. 1986), a young yet prolific female artist, graduate of The University of the Arts in Bucharest, whose work is characterized by a fresh message: fierce, brazen, and amused.
Enjoying working in a variety of media, LEA RASOVSZKY is fascinated by situations or contexts that don’t bore her: the bodies, the boobs, the sex, the fashion, the kitsch, the bunnies, the sunglasses, the beauty nails, good old Mickey Mouse, the gender trouble, the hype of the new media, the romantic relationship without an end or solution, the idea of religion, the current pop underculture, the periphery. For her, black humor is a form of purification and empathy is a rule. The imperative addition of words or text in her work comes naturally. All her projects start with words and she is terribly amused by the idea of giving, or changing, the sense of things by attaching words to them.
For Lea, the STUDIO is not only the place where she keeps objects, notebooks, the small collections of things that bear the imprints of some possible former owners. It is also a playground where she loses her contour and becomes just herself, free from the pressure of being one way or another, ready to accumulate and grow.
