Alexandra Barth

Alexandra Barth’s work explores the production of the everyday spaces we live in. Drawing on her own daily experiences, and an interest in the banal, Barth examines the minutiae of the systematic arrangement of space. She depicts precise details from anonymous domestic and private spaces to explore the peculiarities of human activity and the ways in which we build our environments. Taking personal imagery, as well as estate agency images as points of departure, Barth uses airbrush painting to create an artificial, digital quality in her work. The uniform furniture and accoutrement of everyday life that make up the subjects of her paintings recall utopian design ideals, depicted from unfamiliar angles.

Barth was born in 1989 in Malacky, Slovakia. She received her MA from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Bratislava. Her work has been exhibited internationally throughout Europe and the United States, including solo and group exhibitions in Los Angeles, Paris and London. She lives between Zohor, Slovakia, and Sanguinetto, Italy.
