Olga Lewicka (born 1975) is a visual artist. Polish born, she lives and works in Berlin. Her practice focuses on painting, but it also encompasses installation, collage, performance, text and artist book.
Olga Lewicka studied at the Art Academy in Wrocław. [1] In 2005 she won the Eugeniusz-Geppert-Competition and was awarded the price for young Polish painting. [2] In 2007 she was nominated for Views – The Deutsche Bank Foundation Award for the most interesting young artists on the Polish art scene. [3] In 2010 she was awarded the “Młoda Polska” Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage scholarship for young artists. [4]
Between 1997 and 2002 she also studied philosophy and literature at Wrocław University, New York University and Europa-Universität Viadrina. In 2003 she completed a doctoral thesis on aporia in art discourses, [5] which was published by Wilhelm Fink Verlag in 2004, under the title “Pollock. Verflechtung des Sichtbaren und des Lesbaren” (Engl. “Pollock. The Intertwining of the Visible and the Readable”). [6]
In her work Olga Lewicka deals with the status of the image and the art work in contemporary society. In research and project based works she mostly deals with painting, examining its possibilities and understanding it as a political argument rather than representation or illustration. [7]
In examining painting, with all its options and reservations caused by its long history, she interrogates and plays off the forces of differences and shifts, to eventually initiate emancipatory visual processes. [8]
