Alexandra Jonscher
B. 1997, Chicago Illinois USA
Lives and works in Sydney Australia
Alexandra Jonscher is an American-Australian artist navigating the digital age through multi-disciplinary painting practices. Her practice integrates digital technology into her paintings by using software for brushes and the Internet and Artificial Intelligence as her palette. Originally trained in abstract painting, her practice is rooted in mark-making and expressive gestural abstraction with an interest in language systems. She explores the systems of painting in conversation with the systems of online communication, the Internet and digital technologies. She often meditates on the subtle differences between a scribble and a sign to reflect on the state of post-truth in the Information Age. Her practice is interested in the tension between simulation and reality, and how this tension affects perception, individual agency and identity construction.
