Gina Osterloh

Gina Osterloh (b. 1973, San Antonio, Texas, USA; lives and works in Columbus, Ohio, USA) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice includes photography, video, performance art, and steel sculptures. Her photographic work and live performances explore the complexities of looking, addressing both pleasure and pain while challenging assumed notions of identity. Fascinated by the potential of blankness to induce psychic panic, she delves into themes such as the void, orifice, the grid, and skin. With heightened awareness of color and repetitive patterns present throughout her artwork, Osterloh confronts the tumultuous world by inviting a moment of pause.
