White Cube wishes a Happy Birthday to Miroslaw Balka 🎉⁠
⁠
Miroslaw's subject matter draws on personal and collective memory; his own Catholic upbringing and the recent, fractured history of his native country, Poland.⁠
⁠
Often using his own body and his studio as a template or initial point of reference, the artist incorporates materials with vivid textural or historical associations in his work, such as ash, felt, salt, hair and soap. These simple, everyday objects are powerfully resonant of life’s daily rituals as well as the hidden stories embedded within the Nazi occupation of Poland.⁠
