about viktor stein

Viktor Stein is a trans, Russian-Jewish New York native multimedia artist and ceramicist located in Brooklyn, NY. Working primarily in ceramics since receiving his BFA in Fine Arts from Pratt Institute in 2017, his ceramic practice draws from natural forms, playing with materiality to explore the shared edge of beauty and ugliness at which you find both revulsion and fascination, the boundary between intent and accident, and the human tendency to anthropomorphize abstract forms. His painting and installation work deals primarily with the social reality of cultural signifiers, especially as they relate gender identity, beauty, race, drug crimes, and incarceration.
