Karolina Albricht Polish , b. 1983

Karolina Albricht sees painting as an opening, stretching beyond optical perception. Its process is driven by curiosity - a desire to see what is possible, and a desire to search and maintain this sense of potentiality. Her work probes reciprocity of colour, shape, line and texture, and their responsiveness to the painting's edges. Albricht attempts to generate an active space, a visual environment which can be perceived and responded to through one's intellectual and physical faculties, through the sum of one's senses. She is interested in the interrelation of the body, its movement, and the space it occupies, and the transference of these relationships to the pictorial field. What she is searching for in painting is a dislocation - a glimpse of a possibility, the very edge of seeing and unseeing.
