Through repetitive motifs, Ralkov’s works play with ideas of consumption and intimacy. Connecting the circulation of images and inner workings of the physical body, her works become both self-reflective and question the nature of our visual economy. In pairing the materiality of painting with compositions of suggestive symbols, Ralkov questions the systems and substances that govern our idea of autonomy.
Signe Ralkov (b. 1997, Roskilde; DK) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. She will obtain an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in spring 2025.
