‘FLESH ON FLESH’
at MARIA FRIIS GALLERY, 2023-2024
“Flesh on Flesh” is an exhibition about the body, inside out. The pairing of three distinct artistic practices, with a common denominator in our relation to the body, creates a surplus of fleshiness where the connections are obvious, and the dissimilarities unfold generously. Nanna Starck, Marie Munk, and Maria Koshenkova will be showcasing sculptural works in glass, steel, silicone, clay, and mixed media.
Maria Koshenkova’s work has always been inspired by anatomical elements. Her focus isn’t on the body as a complete entity, but rather on its unseen aspects. Her creations often feature shapes that suggest intestines or organ clusters, along with forms that are either completely abstract or resemble plants. In her use of glass, she captures the essence of the human condition – vulnerable, exposed, and disabled.
