Stasia Grishina is UK-born, Frankfurt- based Russian artist with the background in stage design and sculpture. In her practice, through sculpture, painting, staged photography and objects, she addresses the theme of society's influence on the formation of personality, focusing on socio-political processes, issues of consumer culture, the system of relations between people and animals, most often dogs, reflecting the mechanism of violence elevated to a cult.
Referring to the body-horror aesthetic, Stasia Grishina creates animal-like objects that, on the one hand, reflect the artist's interest in creating three-dimensional forms and experimenting with different materials (ceramics, plywood, wax, metal, plaster, epoxy) and, on the other hand, express her concern with the established system of relationships between humans and animals, especially the bond between humans and dogs, and the mechanisms of violence in this system.
