Edna Baud

born 1991, lives and works in Gdańsk. Graduate of Cultural Studies at the Marie Curie University in Lublin. Winner of the rector’s award in the 12th Geppert Competition. She works with paintings and sounds, making use of motifs present in avant-garde tradition – snapshots of prosaic events from daily life, or “portraits” of every-day objects. Pop-culture quotes get entwined with fragmented symbols, referring us to 20th century philosophy and culture history. As a result, her paintings are semiotically “dense”, full of multi-thematic allegories based on links between forgotten meanings.
