About

Why this artist matters now

Paulina Olowska creates paintings and installations that reconstruct and reinterpret modernist aesthetics and design histories, particularly those of Eastern European avant-garde movements. Based in Poland, her work examines how abstraction and utopian ideals circulate through popular culture, textiles, and decorative objects.
