Anastasiia Podervianska “Earthly and Heavenly Phenomena”

On May 20, ZAG Studio will open Anastasiia Podervianska’s exhibition “Earthly and Heavenly Phenomena”.

The project brings together several series, including “Country Horror”, “Inner World”, “Still Life”, and embroidered coats, exploring culture as a living process of constant change and reinterpretation. In the artist’s works, folklore, ornament, pop culture, textile, and corporeality intertwine, creating a multilayered space between the earthly and the heavenly, the material and the symbolic.

In Podervianska’s practice, textile moves beyond decoration and becomes a mode of thinking — through layers of images, references, and cultural codes. Drawing on Ukrainian legends, art history, and contemporary visual language, she creates works in which familiar images open up to new readings.

The artist works with painting, levkas, textile, collage, and hand embroidery, and also designs costumes and scenography for theatrical productions.

“Earthly and Heavenly Phenomena” is an exhibition about the shifting boundaries between image and matter, memory and transformation, tradition and contemporaneity.

Duration: May 20 – June 7
