ART & ARCHITECTURE

Alexandra is an architect, but is now working as self-employed with the company ATELIER MADIRAZZA, where she primarily works with sculptures. Her greatest interest is art dialogue with the room and vice versa.

In the borderland between art, architecture and design, she works with sculptures that relate to the surroundings or which causes the viewer to take a physical position in relation to it.

The sculptural mirrors Alexandra makes are an attempt at this. Two large pieces of marble in front of the mirror are brutal and poetic at the same time, but also a provocation - because their shapes shadow the reflection of the body. In that case you want to see yourself, you have to navigate after the stones and a dialogue occurs. You feel the room, the mirror and yourself.

Each mirror is unique. With a focus on the environment, the different stones are carefully selected from the pile of ”residual material” at stoneware in Denmark, after which they are cut and reassembled.

In addition to the mirrors, Alexandra works with steel and concrete – materials that meet her desire to create works that are site-specific. Finally, she has developed and investigated organic movements in her ceramic vases and wall vases. These can in addition to being able to accommodate flowers, also be experienced as sculptures in themselves and with the curled wall vase on the wall, a nice small room within a room is created – a break in everyday life.

On a daily basis, Alexandra works in her studio in Skodsborg, has a showroom in Frederiksberg and is represented by the gallery Boon Room in Paris & Gallery Philia in New York.
