Ausstellung/Exhibition: Shona – Life in Progress

Shona has their first solo exhibiton Life in Progress from July 12th until July 31st at PinkDot in Berlin. The show features Shona's oil paintings inspired by the lives and communities around them, such as the queer, creative, and feminist communities of Berlin. At the heart of the exhibition is a new piece born from a moment of intense emotion that humanity echoes around Shona are feeling – capturing both the beauty and chaos of life. To complete the work, Sho Na will be tattooing elements from the painting onto willing participants in a live performance, bringing the piece to life across multiple layers.

Shona is a US artist, based in Berlin. They see being an artist as a job to reflect life back at itself, and spends a lot of time observing the literal moments, as well as recreating the intangible feelings as well through painting, street art, and tattoos. They work to combine all of these elements to make art more accessible, and encourage people to partake in the creation of their work since they view art as a part of all of us. The artist specifically like to focus on representing subcultures within larger cultural understandings.
