About Aila

Aila Oldenburg is a Swedish-American self taught artist and showgirl living in New York City. She can be found in her Broome Street studio & gallery by day, and immortalizing the cities hottest clubs & parties by night.

Aila started out painting au plein air on the streets of New York. Her live artistry then emerged onto the nightlife scene, adopted by notorious theater The Box, legendary producer Susanne Bartsch, and the salacious collective Rox Republic lead by showgirl icon

Lola Von Rox. 

Her talents stretch beyond the canvas, also working as a dancer and singer,  as well as creating her costumes by hand. Aila's performances have been brought around the world, from London to Vegas, and she continues to travel with paintbrushes in hand.

Aila views her paintings as her memories, imprints of precious moments, capturing the energy and magic beyond time. She is passionate about documenting the incredible world of showgirls & club kids she has been adopted into. 

The night is not over when the party dies down, Aila continues her work in her studio, painting glimpses into the whirlwind life of a New York showgirl.

 

Aila plans to save the world by means of her art, and in the grand time continuum..already did x
