She has shown her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including at the S\u00e3o Paolo Biennial, the Ljubljana Museum of Modern Art, Budapest\u2019s Mu\u0308czarnok Museum, Warsaw\u2019s Zach\u0119ta National Gallery and the Vienna Museum of Modern Art (MUMOK).<\/p>\n<p>For her first solo exhibition in New York, \u201cI Always Get What I Wish For,\u201d Petra presents two distinct bodies of work, both featuring her signature stylized drawings of ordinary people in everyday situations. These latest, large format drawings on primed wooden panels, subtly address the ambiguities in our concept of identity by showing moments in the lives of her figures that are both intimate and yet openly visible.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"ngg-galleryoverview caption-view  ngg-ajax-pagination-none\"\n\tid=\"ngg-gallery-3b8d8663a378150cd2fcc27a21a28985-1\">\n\n    <div
