Profile and About Alicja Kuzmycz :: Artist ::

Profile

.
Alicja Kuzmycz is an artist and creative director working in Melbourne Australia, who in 2010 completed a master of fine arts at RMIT University.

"My art practice explores ideas of feminine identity in contemporary culture, with a focus on strong, assertive women - their social labels, narratives and representations."

She commonly works with femme fatale characters and often references the Film Noir genre:

"... strong women trapped in a male-dominated universe, who are willing to use any weapon, including their own sexuality, to level the playing field." Alain Silver, Film Noir.

This type of character provides Kuzmycz a playful way to delve into ideas of female representation.
