In the artist's words:

Jessica (Jessi) Strixner, *1992 in Munich, lives in the same city

Jessi Strixner cuts and carves pieces of clothing from wood - in original size and deceptively realistically painted. Sometimes carelessly thrown on the floor, sometimes hung on a hook - clothing is a statement and tells us a lot about its wearer. Deceptively realistically staged, the garments not only refer to their absent owners, but also become aesthetic objects themselves, in which centuries-old formal themes such as light and shadow, volume and color are confidently and excitingly renegotiated.

It is not without reason that drapery plays a significant role in Jessi Strixner's wood sculptural work. Throughout the history of Western sculpture, the reproduction of clothing with its volume and surface has always been an essential component in the depiction of people. Here, meaning and social status could be depicted, dramatic draperies could be used to illustrate active action or inner excitement. In keeping with this tradition, Jessi Strixner makes clothing itself the subject and leaves it up to the viewer to read the codes of disco jackets or tennis socks and make up their own stories about their owners.

She has also created the classic disco jacket in bronze, a material for eternity, suitable for a jacket that doesn't want to go out of fashion.
