STANISLAVA PINCHUK | SUBVERSUS

Subversus is a creative studio, artist collective and production house working across culture and commerce. We connect artistic practice and commercial opportunity, enabling work that’s ambitious and culturally sharp.

Founded by filmmakers, artists and cultural producers, Subversus was built from within these worlds. We understand commercial realities, their workflows, expectations and standards, because we work inside them every day.

Subversus acts as the bridge between artists and commercial partners, providing a support structure that protects the artist’s practice, serves the brief, and creates the conditions for shared authorship and collaboration. We make commercial production navigable for artists, and prioritise creative environments over traditional hierarchy. We work with artists who move across film, art, music, performance, fashion, installation, experiential and tech.

As a creative studio and production partner, we work alongside agencies, brands and cultural partners from concept through to delivery. Work is artist-led, brand-initiated, institutionally commissioned, or developed through independent practice and extended into commercial and public contexts.

Based in Sydney and operating globally, Subversus takes on unconventional briefs while honouring artist authorship and the ambitions of our partners.

We’re for agencies and brands seeking artist-led projects with cultural weight, for institutions exploring alternatives to traditional commissioning structures, and for artists whose work demands more room than a single category allows. Subversus is where artists and commercial partners meet on equal terms.

Subversus acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work, create and collaborate. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and recognise the ongoing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to land, culture and story. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and commit to working with care, respect and responsibility on this land.

STANISLAVA PINCHUK

Visual Artist & Architectural Installation

Stanislava Pinchuk is an artist working across data-mapping, information-mining and conflict topographies, with a focus on how these systems intersect with language, literature and the politics of translation. Her practice spans architectural-scale installation, coding, film, performance, drawing, sculpture, painting and tattooing.

Pinchuk is currently the Official War Artist of Australia. Her work examines how information is recorded, translated and remembered, often using spatial and material forms to visualise complex geopolitical narratives.

Pinchuk’s work is held in major public collections including the HE Museum, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, ACMI and the Art Gallery of South Australia, and has been the subject of career surveys at Heide MoMA and FAC. Solo exhibitions and presentationsinclude the Dallas Museum of Contemporary Art, Northern Centre for Contemporary Art, Gjon Mili 17, Manifesta 14, the Adelaide Biennial and Art Basel Hong Kong Encounters.

Recent commercial collaborations include Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel, Gucci, Flos, Nike and Tiffany & Co.

Monographs include The Theatre of War(Perimeter Books, 2024) and Europe Without Monuments(NCCA, 2023).
