Basia Bańda
Spring
FSP ING 0107
Pink human or animal figures against a bright background are a trademark component in Basia Bańda’s oeuvre. Her consistency in applying such a colour palette in Spring brings something carnal and sensual to mind on the one hand, yet girlish and innocent on the other, as if straight from a little girl’s room. The figure standing inside the flower, seemingly a hint at Andersen’s Thumbelina, may intrigue the viewer—eyes covered by a black blindfold, one hairy shin entwined in a floral flagellum.
Basia Bańda
b. 1980, Zielona Góra

She prefers small-scale canvases and blending painting techniques, combining watercolour fragility with heavy acrylic, and occasionally embellishes her images with ornamentation, such as glitter, beads or lace. She employs a few simple motifs in constructing whimsical narratives, sharing intimate anecdotes and usually bringing them to a point with short titles. She focuses on themes of corporeality and physical experience. She lives and works in Zielona Góra.
