Hostile City

Class discrimination remains a blind spot in Dutch society. It is subtly woven into our daily lives using elements such as anti-homeless spikes to restrict unwanted behavior and people in public places.

creator, xenia gott

Hey, I’m Xenia. I’m a painter, illustrator and musician. I mostly create anti-heroes and underdogs; characters that reside on the edge of society.

I love the process of experimenting and exploring and the works you see here have sometimes been made in a day, but sometimes also took years to finish. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

ABOUT

Xenia Gott is a multidisciplinary artist based in the Netherlands. 

She utilizes a diverse range of mixed media, including (digital) collage, painting, illustration, silk screen printing and audiovisual art. 

Central to her artwork lies the exploration and capture of random (online) impressions and the transformation of these fleeting moments into her own world of figurative sketches.

Collage art & illustration

Recurring themes in Xenia’s artwork include society, social order, and mental disorder. Her compositions often feature figures enduring struggle — anti-heroes and underdogs living on society’s edge. These fringe characters look different, behave differently, challenging our perspectives, balancing between the ‘normal’ and the ‘abnormal’. Through her art, Xenia offers a personal yet relatable narrative, exploring the human condition with a blend of humor, empathy and insight.

Her intuitive approach and layered flow of consciousness create a rich visual language that resonates with audiences. By focusing on themes of societal and mental struggles, Xenia not only mirrors the world around her but also fosters contemplation and dialogue. Her art is a reminder of the unseen battles faced by many and the growth that can arise from ‘madness’.
