Janna Grak

1971

Artist, member of the group Revision. Creates sculptural and graphic works.

She creates both spatial monumental abstract forms and small sculptural objects, combining different techniques and materials, working with ceramics, wood and pigments. Many works created by the sculptor are transformed, including by the viewer. Zhanna Grak often produces her sculptural compositions from the same type of modules as constructor forms and transforming forms. Her transformable sculptures can be seen as mechanisms. Their language, besides being the language of abstract art, is the language of mechanics, which names nothing - speech without nomination. Its only and absolute message is movement. In one of the interviews, Jeanne Grak says that the sculpture "has the right to move." But unlike kinetic art, the artist solves this problem without engines and motors, but with the help of viewers, people, humanizing geometric abstraction.

Lives and works in Düsseldorf.
