Dasha Shishkin

Dasha Shishkin (Moscow, Russia, 1977) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Driven by line, her compositions are inhabited by a psychedelic multiplicity of scenes and characters, bordering on the comical and the grotesque – a glimpse into a strange, parallel world where pre-assumed rules don’t apply.

Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions at Neues Museum Nurnberg, Alemania (2021); Fine Art Gallery, Houston, Texas (2020); Anne Barrault Gallery, Paris, Francia (2020); Gio Marconi Gallery, Milan, IT (2018); Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Boulder (2017) and The Metropolitan Opera, New York (2014); The Gallery Met, The Metropolitan Opera, New York (2014); Palazzo Cavour, Torino (2014); Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara (2013); Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati (2012); Saatchi Gallery, London (2012); Museum of Old and New Art, Tasmania (2011); Neuberger Museum of Art in Purchase, New York (2010); Denver Art Museum, Denver (2009); Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg (2007).

Her work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Nueva York; Whitney Museum of American Art, Nueva York; The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, USA; Tang Teaching Museum, Saratoga Springs, USA; RISD Museum, Providence, USA; Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas; Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus; Pina- kothek der Moderne, Munich; and Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg.
