29 May 2026

Ames Yavuz is pleased to announce artist Stanislava Pinchuk as recipient of the 2026 Mordant Family and Creative Australia Affiliated Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. The Fellowship offers established Australian visual artists dedicated time, space and support to undertake ambitious new work within one of the world’s most significant creative and intellectual communities.   

“I am honoured to become an Affiliated Fellow of the American Academy in Rome, to find the extensive time and support to begin localised research and production works, and embrace the challenge of examining Roman Posthomerica in such a dynamic and thorough academic environment.” – Stanislava Pinchuk on the Fellowship 

Stanislava Pinchuk (b.1988, Kharkiv, Ukraine) lives and works in Melbourne, Sarajevo and Barcelona. Pinchuk is an artist working between data-mapping and information-mining, conflict topographies, legacies of literature and the politics of translation. Her practice spans film, architecture, installation, performance, drawing, tattooing, painting and sculpture. She is the current serving Official War Artist of Australia, and has previously held career surveys of her work at Heide MoMA and FAC. 

Pinchuk’s 2013 work Moon (Kharkiv) is on view at Migration and modernism at the National Gallery of Australia until March 2027.
