Ewa Juszkiewiez

First monograph of one of the most promising young Polish artists today. Ewa Juszkiewicz (b. 1984) is a Polish surrealist artist. She challenges visual conceptions and stereotypes of female beauty in classical European painting. By deconstructing these images, Juszkiewicz expands our interpretation of history. In her practice, she uses and mixes human figures and various objects (plants, hair, tissus) in a perfect balance. Ewa Juszkiewicz was selected among the 100 Painters of Tomorrow published by Thames & Hudson in 2014 as well as for Women Painters published by Phaidon. Her work has been featured in exhibitions at museums and public institutions the world over. "I wish to tell a new tale and create my own language: ambiguous, dense, natural and organic." Olivier Berggruen is an art historian, curator and former director of Berggruen & Zevi in London. Chloë Ashby is an author and art critic. Her book Colours of Art: The Story of Art in 80 Palettes won the Times' award of Best Book of 2022. Her first novel Wet Paint was published in April 2022.
