Inna Levinson DE, b. 1984

Inna Levinson (born 1984 in Lviv, Ukraine) is a painter whose practice engages with the visual language of the digital age. Often beginning with screenshots or found images as inspiration, she translates them onto coarse jute using oil, wax, and a palette knife. Through this process, she creates a distinctive surface structure that recalls the rhythm of a pixel grid while retaining the qualities of traditional painting. Recurring motifs in her work include hands and fingers which act as symbols of touch and communication, reflecting on the themes of intimacy and distance. Levinson’s work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in several notable public and private collections, including the Kunstmuseum Bonn and the Arthena Foundation in Düsseldorf.
