"Gabriela Jolowicz is a German woodcut artist whose narrative black and white depictions of everyday life blur the boundary between reality and imagination. Through a combination of styles and sources, she explores the traditional woodcut medium, capturing the contrast between the overflow of information and the slow process of cutting into wood in her distinctive art.
Jolowicz completed her diploma and post-graduate studies at the Academy of Visual Arts, Leipzig, and has since exhibited her works in numerous international group and solo exhibitions, including at the International Print Center New York, the Museo de la Estampa in Mexico City, the Museum of Visual Arts in Leipzig, and a recent solo exhibition at the Goethe Institute in Prague. Her works can be found in public collections, including the Staedtisches Kunstmuseum Spendhaus Reutlingen, Deutsche Bundesbank Frankfurt am Main, and Kunststiftung Kreissparkasse Ludwigsburg. Jolowicz also received several awards, including the first prize at the International Woodcut Art Competition of the KSK Ludwigsburg in 2012 and the Artist in Residence Award of Black Church Print Studios in Dublin in 2016. She published two original woodcut books called Megabillig and Megabillig 2 with Lubok books in Leipzig. Her work has also been commissioned as illustrations in newspapers and magazines.
Currently, she holds teaching assignments at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) and the University of the Arts Bremen (HfK). Jolowicz lives and works in Berlin."
