Her work has been exposed in galleries like Merry Karnowsky (Los Angeles), Magda Danysz (Paris), or Jonathan Levine (New York) and she has participated in prestigious exhibitions in museums like “Spank the monkey” in Baltic Centre of Contemporary Art or in the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal. The characters created by Miss Van oscillate between womanhood and childhood, they are overwhelmingly feminine and ooze eroticism, sensuality and provocation. But at the same time, they evoke a certain wickedness and perversion. Throughout her artistic career she has met various creative people who share a similar artistic outline and who have tried to move away from the typical graffiti aesthetic, taking the tattoo world, comics and graphic design of the 50ies, but also the naivety and the colour spectrum of animations, as a reference. Some of these friends and collaborators who have accompanied her throughout the past few years are going to participate in the next group exhibition in Iguapop Gallery, for which Miss Van has selected 15 international artists: Jeremy Fish, Aiko, Mike Giant, Herbert Baglione, Junko Mizuno, Angelique Houtkamp, Kev Grey, Kid Acne, Javi Rodríguez, Landry et Limbo, Nano 4814, Mademoiselle Kat, Ciou and Fawn Gehweiler. This exhibition will also feature some of Miss Van’s newest work. “Bestial”
