Yulia Iosilzon
b. 1992, Moscow
Yulia Iosilzon (b. 1992, Moscow, Russia) is an Israeli artist who lives and works in London. She graduated both from the Slade School of Fine Art and the Royal College of Art and has won several prizes for her work, including the Audrey Wykeham Prize in 2016 and the Bloomberg New Contemporaries prize in 2019. Recent solo exhibitions were held at De Brock, Knokke (2024); Carvalho Park, New York (2023); Sapling, London (2022); De Brock, Knokke (2022); Foundry, Seoul (2022); Berntson Bhattacharjee, Stockholm (2021); Huxley Parlour, London (2021) and Osnova, Moscow (2020).
Yulia Iosilzon’s paintings evoke a dreamworld of human-plant hybrids and playful childhood memory, tinged with the quiet menace of mythology. Figures and faces emerge from the surface of the canvases before dissolving into foliage, water, and the bodies of animals. The paintings contrast chaos with control, baroque abundance with boldly delineated segments of color. Showing sympathy to the significant lineage of famed color-field painters, Iosilzon employs a soak staining technique similar to that popularized by Helen Frankenthaler in the 1950s and 60s.
