Publisher's Synopsis
"I wish to tell a new tale and create my own language: ambiguous, dense, natural, and organic."
Ewa Juszkiewicz was born in 1984 and lives in Warsaw. She is a Polish surrealist artist who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk and from the Academy of Fine Arts in Kracow. She is seen as one of the most important young contemporary Polish artists.
She challenges visual conceptions and stereotypes of women's beauty using codes of European painting from the Renaissance to the 19th century.
Her rebel and unique art deconstructs women images in classical art. She uses and mixes humain figures and various objets (plants, hair, tissus) in a perfect balance. Ewa Juszkiewicz was selected among the 100 Painters of Tomorrow published by Thames & Hudson in 2014 as well as for Women Painters published by Phaidon. Her works are exposed in the whole world: Poland, Paris, London, Miami and Beijing. Juszkiewicz embodies the dynamism of East European art schools nowadays.
By analysing and transforming the past - in dialogue with the present - Ewa Juszkiewicz expands our interpretation of history through change and deconstruction.
