About

Gosia Wlodarczak was born in Poland (1959). In Australia since 1996, she lives and Works in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Gosia Wlodarczak is represented by, Helen Maxwell, Canberra, Australia, The Drawing Center, New York, and Kentler International Drawing Space, Brooklyn, USA.

My practice is made manifest through heightened awareness of the everyday areas of human thought, behavior and experience. Drawings are processed via the biological phenomenon of being as detected by my sense of sight and communicated through my body. I draw my environment as I see it in real time - tracing and re-tracing the visible - thereby finding elements often concealed by the primacy of sight.My work interrogates space, time and language - aligning itself to complex notion of difference. Over time I have adopted various visual processes and methods to address and communicate these issues. Drawing is the basis of all my work, extending towards performance, interactive situations and installation.
