Karolina Glusiec
https://www.instagram.com/karolina.glusiec/

Glusiec is a Polish-born artist working primarily with drawing and animation. Her drawing style is immediately recognizable due to it’s loose, layered, and rapidly applied look. What at first appears abstract quickly becomes the embodiment of a moment in time, especially when those loose lines begin to move within her animated works. By stripping away the specific detail of a scene she is able to evoke something that feels more at the root of the subject, often making her films play like a recorded memory. Beyond animation, Glusiec is seemingly ever-busy documenting her daily life via her sketchbook. She’s taken the notion of flipbook animation to another level by using each page of a sketchbook as a new animation frame — the result of which is wonderfully energetic and loose animations documenting her travels. Karolina is a graduate of the animation department at the RCA in London and has since worked on various music videos and commissioned projects as well as developing her own unique view of the medium.
