Analia Segal

Argentine artist Analia Segal is best known for her visually compelling work that navigates the lines between design, art and architecture.  Through a highly textural process of material manipulation, Segal “disrupts” the functional design and aesthetic elements of everyday objects such as tiles, carpets and blinds. Through slight dishevelment, puckering and protrusions, Segal challenges what she calls the “theater of domesticity.” Says Segal of this creative process, “my professional practice intertwines the conceptual, aesthetic and functional nature of the objects that surround us—highlighting their ability to become participants in the domestic theater.”

Segal has exhibited her sculptures, drawings, photographs, and installations both nationally and internationally, at galleries and museums including the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, Argentina, White Columns, New York City, Weatherspoon Art Gallery, Greensboro, North Carolina, Kobo Chika Gallery, Tokyo, and La Planta-Omnilife, Guadalajara. She has also been the recipient of grants and awards from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, 100% Design, and Fundacion Antorchas. Her work has also appeared in numerous books and publications worldwide, among them Simply Material (Victionary), Fragile (Die Gestalten, Verlag GmbH), and sex design (Loft Pubs and HarperCollins Design.)
