Magda

Studio Friday: Look who I found...!



I met Magda in May 2005 in her exhibition in a bookshop. She is an interesting person with multi talents. I wrote about her in my blog:

This is the first time I met an artist who works with multi ideas (not just multi medias). She creates a thick book, almost like a coffee-table book, containing digital artwork of her artwork. So she takes digital photos of her artwork, touches it digitally or manually, and produces it as a new artwork. She recycles her artwork: creating a new artwork out of it and at the same time documenting. What a fresh idea! Her original artwork itself is product of one/combination of wood-cutting, etching, water-coloring, sketching, brushing, montage, digital photo, poem and all is done with graphics printing. A nice combination of nine ideas! Plus.. she also makes audio art to complete her visual art.

Her work is similar to Frida Kahlo's, except no depressing theme. All are about joy and fun times. Her books are about women – at work, in sexy poses, on wedding day. She took lots of women pictures, touched it with art, then printed nicely as an art-book. Like journal of a woman, or a trip. Very clever. She also makes painted chair and floor mat, all painted (shown in photo).

I like her. Unlike many who work in digital art, she looks very plain. Like a young mother who accompany kids to school. No groovy style a la digital. But her talent is surprising, her art is superb. New!
