Gouache and ink

In her drawings, Pola Dwurnik oscillates between a simplistic black-and-white cartoon style and large, complex compositions. She often creates narratives consisting of several individual drawings. The artist reflects on contemporary reality and its social and private spheres. Most of her drawing series tell true stories about the artist’s own life and the art world around her.
