CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW

SUMMARY

C o n t e m p o r a r y A r t R e v i e w

Life is done of shades and through the experience we learn a way to interpret the shadings. I believe that the creative process is absolutely an unit that works better if the experiences became a fuel. Simple experiences or complex, direct or indirect, doesn ' t matter. The experience is a spark that creates a series of inner events, and they form the thought itself. The strongest is the experience lived and direct. Then for example we can read of other ' s experiences and also this fact forms the thought, but it is a different thing because it has the power to remove or hide truth and meanings for example. So it ' s better to be conscious of the value that we give ourselves to the experiences that we do in the life.

Special Issue

Born in 1981. From 2001 to 2006 she studied Painting in the Faculty of Fine Arts Maria Curie- Sklodowska University in Lublin.. Since 2006 she has worked in her mother school, firstly as a graduate student instructor in the Department of Traditional and Experimental Graphic Art, then since 2009 as a teaching assistant. She specializes in Painting, Video and Photography. In her works, she touches time passing issues as well as political, cultural and anthropological problems. These sets of works are made in oil on canvas( size of each 130x160cm) with using a lot glaze technique. Landscape was a starting point for each of the paintings, but with glaze i was trying to make it more abstract

The biggest problem with a blank fresh canvas, is it feels finished. It is a simple polished design. I assume the duty of debeautifying this image. Starting like an unrehearsed recital, my canvas is a stage for an impromptu performance in which it can get sloppy. Smearing, staining, spraying, slashing and even re-configuring the platform of a painting, I step into the wide unending history of Abstraction. This catalog of actions and plasticity of mark-making provides me with a chaos in which I am comfortable to start the restraint process. I have to give in to a formidable design; this is where the use of flat negative space comes into play. When I speak of play, I do mean a space to remove marks or add textures in the medium. The play, becomes a first step in a long tedious methodology that results in the beginning of a grand design of the image.

Christin Bolewski is a digital media artist and filmmaker from Germany. She is currently a Senior Lecturer in Fine Art Practice at Lough-borough University UK Her artwork is a critical investigation of the potential of digital media to expand the aesthetic possibilities of audiovisual / film art. It includes video installation, genre mix, alternation and remediation of traditional art concepts and film structures, nonlinear storytelling, combination of still and moving image, video and photography. She often works with and makes reference to literature and philosophy and explores text as a third element together with moving image and sound.

In my work I document the various aspects of society through investigation and personal observation. The existential chaos outbreak reflects society as a whole; Raising questions about our place as individuals. What are the gloomy and bright shades of the event that we are experiencing? The constant search for connecting with human emotions – those who are unknown to us, who we can relate to and be fascinated by, reveal the essence of my work that extract personal reflection poses in front of everyday life.

I love stories: Life stories, questions of human mental sanity boundaries, cultural identity and gender identity, memory and how them affect life stories. My family history makes me want to explore and touch an exposed nerve. Memories, words, pain, and love. The narrative of the images I create range from private to general, between the intimate and personal to political and social. My cultural space was created from the inside and from the ongoing movement – between countries and languages, and from the dialogues with creators from different artistic disciplines. Each series of works begin with an idea, when photography is a visual basis.
