Early life and education
editEwa Ciepielewska was born on 1 October 1960, in Wałbrzych, Poland. In 1984[2] she completed her studies in painting at the Higher School of Fine Arts in Wrocław, at the studio of prof. Konrad Jarodzki.[1][2][3]
Career
editIn 1982,[1] together with Bożena Grzyb-Jarodzka and Paweł Jarodzki,[4] Ciepielewska co-founded the artistic group LUXUS – one of the key artistic groups of the 1980s in Poland.[1][4][5] Over the years, she participated in dozens of exhibitions of the group and co-created the LUXUS Magazine and other publications of the group.[2] Together with Magdalena Mosiewicz, she co-organized the Lotny Festiwal poza Murami festival.[4] In the second half of the 1990s, she established the Volans association, whose aim is to support young art.[1][4]
She combines her artistic work with pro-ecological and political activities.[1] In addition to painting, she also creates engaged happenings, murals and outdoor projects.[2][4] She belongs to Koalicja Ratujmy Rzeki (Save the Rivers Coalition).[2] Since the beginning of the 21st century, she has been engaging in projects connected to the Vistula river, which resulted in the Flow/Przepływ project (since 2015) aimed to use art as the means of looking after the aquatic ecosystem.[1] The project included art residencies on the Vistula[1][4] for artists, curators and activists.[1] The results were presented at exhibitions, for example at the Hamburger Bahnhof (2018) and Alter Hafen in Berlin (2017), or at the Gdańsk City Gallery (2016, 2018).[1]
Her works have appeared at individual and group exhibitions, including at the National Museum in Gdańsk, the Łaźnia Centre for Contemporary Art,[2] the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, the Zachęta National Gallery of Art, the Ujazdowski Castle Center for Contemporary Art and Strykejernet in Oslo.[1] Ciepielewska's works are part of the collections of the National Museums in Warsaw, Wrocław and Kraków, as well as the Jerke Museum in Recklinghausen.[1][3]
