Artwork location: Austria

In this striking artwork, we are confronted with a provocative and daring tableau that merges surrealism with modern commentary. At the center of the composition, a woman kneels on a pale pink rug, her intense gaze directed at the viewer. She is adorned in nothing but vivid red lingerie, a bold choice that directly contrasts the rich green backdrop, accentuated by a crimson pendant lamp hanging above.

The scene's complexity deepens with the presence of a leopard, poised regally beside her on the pink rug, its form and spots meticulously detailed. The leopard's calm demeanor juxtaposes the human subject's almost challenging disposition, creating a palpable tension within the piece.

Further compounding the visual narrative, the checker-patterned black and white floor beneath them underscores a sense of disorientation—a nod to surrealist techniques. Adding an element of whimsy, a sushi roll is balanced delicately in chopsticks held by the woman, with a tray of sushi set beside her, introducing an unexpected culinary element amid the otherwise raw and untamed setting.

In the upper left corner, a simple yet evocative hand-drawn heart graces the wall, hinting at an underlying layer of emotion or commentary on modern love and desire. The combination of these disparate elements—an intimate indoor setting, the wildness of the leopard, and the mundane sushi—culminates in a scene that is both intriguing and unsettling.

This artwork demands the viewer's attention, inviting them to delve deeper into its layered meanings and the contrasting symbols of domestication and untamed nature, sensuality, and everyday life.

Imagine it at home

Inna Sych, Prelude
Austria  • 1991

Presentation

Inna Sych, born in 1991 in Kyiv, Ukraine, is a Ukrainian figurative artist based in Austria. Her work, characterized by a feminine, soft, and unique style, often explores themes of beauty and oddness through elongated necks and slender silhouettes, particularly within the fashion industry. Inn's journey into art was significantly shaped by her education in fashion illustration at institutions like Fantasy Room and Art Craft. This foundational learning spurred her to develop a distinct personal style, blending her love for nature, fashion, and museums with nostalgia for the fashion of the 50s-80s. Inna's practical experiences have been pivotal in her artistic development, enabling her to experiment with various media and collaborate with fashion weeks and brands.
