Victoria Colmegna

Victoria Colmegna (Argentina, 1986) lives and works in Buenos Aires.

"Victoria's work engages with the styles and dynamics that dominate closed systems like cliques self-critically reflecting the making of the ‘young’ artist’s oeuvre as a self abusive practice.

The work is always over-curated, populous, somewhat apocryphal, it’s transpersonal; as in things done by many. By mixing, committing, hosting, inviting, ordering, demanding, and begging different things from different people, she tries to find the cipher for selfhood's unresolved dilemma. The work frantically border- hops between textile design, fan item, family memorabilia and pharmaceutics and art commodity.

Her painting is photography based and recollects visual cues like a fashion police in a crime scene.

She's fascinated by psychology, alternative medicine, and kitsch."

Her work has been presented in several solo and two-person exhibitions, among which Victoria Colmegna & Tobias Kaspar, The Paris Agreement at Bonny Poon Conditions – Profil in Paris (2024); Enfant Gâté at Emanuela Campoli in Paris (2023); Superficial at PAGE in New York (2023); Manic Melancholy at Emanuela Campoli in Paris (2023); Present Future at Artissima, with Weiss Falk in Turin (2022); Love Needs Care at Weiss Falk in Zürich (2022); Mirror, Stage, Baby Introspective at schwarzescafé at LUMA Foundation/ Westbau in Zürich (2019); Isla Privada at MAMBA in Buenos Aires (2014).
