Gabriela Jolowicz

Gabriela Jolowicz (born 1978) is a German artist known for her detailed black-and-white woodcuts.

Biography

Gabriela Jolowicz was born in 1978 in Salzgitter.[1] She grew up in Salzgitter. She studied communication design at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hildesheim before entering the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig (Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst) in 2002, where she was a student of Volker Pfüller and Thomas M. Müller.

Her diploma work consisted of a series of 24 woodcuts, published in 2008 by Lubok Verlag[2] under the direction of Christoph Ruckhäberle.

In 2012, she won the first prize of the international competition "Woodcut Today" held by the Foundation for Art, Culture and Education of the Kreissparkasse Ludwigsburg.[3]

She has lectured at the Berlin University of the Arts,[4] the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig, and at the University of the Arts[5] in Bremen. She lives and works in Berlin.

Work

Jolowicz's woodcuts frequently depict scenes from everyday contemporary life. Moments that today are often photographed and shared via smartphones and social media are translated by her into one of the most traditional graphic media, the woodcut. The choice of motifs and her strict limitation to black-and-white often evoke associations with comics and graphic novels.[6][7]
