Celina Kanunnikava is a Polish-Belarusian artist. Her works are in the collection of Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw,[1] and in private collections in Poland and abroad.
Work
editKanunnikava's artworks span painting, computer graphics, and mixed media/installations. They are inspired by architecture and physical materials characteristic for totalitarian regimes, such as widespread use of concrete, gold, and marble. The paintings depict gigantic buildings of the regime power and control infrastructure, including prisons, secret police archives, official buildings, headquarters, and bureaus of official propaganda media.[2] The objects and buildings depicted symbolize not just Belarusian regime but other similar power relations and systems.[3]
The artist is engaged in charity auctions and initiatives in both Belarus[4] and Poland.[5]
