Ideas and images of masculinity and femininity permeate many aspects of life in the 21st century, with popular products, media, fashion, and politics often attempting to define the lines between genders. In an effort to heighten engagement within the broader discourse of gender and gendered experiences, Isabella Losskarn creates highly colorful drawn images of distinctly familiar and absurd still-life scenarios that exist as a set of universally relatable visual metaphors which address current issues and experiences personal to the artist.

Through this absurd manipulation of familiar objects, imagery and themes which are often associated with gender stereotypes, a dialogue is created, and audiences are invited to view and understand each artwork through the lens of their own personal experience.

Just like the presence of gender stereotypes, misogyny and sexism in politics and popular culture, you’ve seen and experienced the objects which appear in Losskarn’s drawings before - it is even possible that they exist in your memories or personal life.
