Anastasia Alexandrin, Ukrainian born American, Philadelphia–based artist is known for her ability to make art from the trappings of everyday life and to question traditional ways of seeing, through reconfigurations of various forces both visible and invisible that constantly impact the framework of daily life, from the trajectory of thinking and the stillness of air to the effect of gravity, sound and the way the chaotic, but logical, geometry of form precariously frames our experience of being. Drawing line after line, vertically down over and over implying something more elusive and less stable—implied motion, states in the midst of change, a reality that exists between multiple visual constructions. Fragmentation and recombinatory possibilities are marked and can be seen as reality coming into being, the fragility of specific bold kinds of ephemeral reality, or reality as a constant process of rise and fall. Her compositions are built from these assertions and negations. She attempts to make a memorable visual experience that cannot be corralled by memory, through a form of narrative representation, to a personal iconography that combines abstracted elements and urban grit in drawing that are formally rigorous, deceptively obvious, and almost sculptural in intent. Her work is a mixture of her two lives.
