Biography

 

Małgorzata  Łempicka - Brian  -   Polish artist and photographer, who has lived and worked in Paris since 1990. Her photographic works and audiovisual installations can be divided into those which refer strongly to various social issues and those which present an individual and his or her inner life in a very intimate way. Image manipulation, obsessively recurring questions about the relations between an individual and his or her surroundings as well as a variety of media (photography, video, installations) and technologies (light sensitive emulsion, printed materials, metal) not only provoke the viewer to engage in a dialogue with the work of art but also arouse a pure visual emotion at the same time.
