Oktavia Schreiner is a visual artist working in ceramic and wood to produce large-scale, painted sculptural objects. Using the abilities and strength of materials, the artist engages a mainly process based, improvised approach to making art. The images she paints and scratches onto and into the clay or wooden surface are made as part of a concern for the material form and relates to both the mental and physical perspectives we have to objects and space.
Oktavia Schreiner was born in 1991 in Salzburg and grew up in Berlin, Rome and Linz. She has a Master’s in Fine Art from the University of Art and Design, Linz and a Master of Letters in Fine Art Practice from the Glasgow School of Art. In 2020 she received the ´Arno Lehmann Prize for ceramics` and in 2021/22 she has been a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Arts and Design Linz. Since 2017 Oktavia lives in Glasgow where she is a studio member at the Glasgow Sculpture Studios. She is currently nominated for the ‚Scottish Emerging Sculpture Award‘.
