THE GREATEST SHOW

We’re thrilled to invite you to the opening of Alina Kleytman’s exhibition 𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙂𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙏𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙎𝙃𝙊𝙒, which inaugurates the representation of the artist by Gunia Nowik Gallery!

In her multidisciplinary practice, Ukrainian artist Alina Kleytman (b. 1991, Kharkiv) explores power, violence, trauma, and self-mythologization. Balancing dark irony with mourning, she transforms trauma into a sharp visual language, constructing grotesque yet alluring objects that resemble mutated relics of desire, protection, or submission—organic yet artificial, fragile yet menacing. Her practice investigates the psychological and physical boundaries of the body, drawing on references to black magic, abusive relationships, and depersonalization through self-aggrandizement. Often incorporating materials sourced from conflict zones, she creates memory capsules of societal collapse and resilience.
