Paulina Ołowska (1976 – Current)

 Paulina Ołowska (1976 – Current)

Attended School of the Art Institute of Chicago (BFA 1996)
Attended Academy of Fine Arts, Gdansk, Poland (MFA  1997-2000)

Many of Ołowska's paintings are prodding, sardonic recreations of late communist-era Poland’s  westernized advertisements; Thin aristocrats modeling costly clothing, modern Warsaw’s version of the classic Sweater Girl.  Likewise, her collages tend to cross/blend cultures of the 80’s and 90’s with a Bahaus-esque compositional aesthetic.  Most recently she has been working with installations and performance.
