Biography

Iris Kojaman (b.1981, Austria) is a visual artist whose practice depicts excerpts of everyday life where some particular detail is relevant to make a painting out of it. These moments have just a small pinch of magic within them. Just big enough to notice, and through working elongated on it, by painting, than collage them and painting again, the magic stays up in the air like a jugglingball does. So the depicted reality slowly changes. Quite often Kojaman paints big sheets of paper first to start off her work. She than uses them to make collages which she takes to make her paintings. You could say she creates artistic work to create artistic work out of it. Iris has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Austria, Switzerland, Germany and across the United States. Iris lives and works in Vienna and Eichgraben, Austria.
