莫妮卡·莱曼
艺术家简介Artist Biography
莫尼克·雷曼生于华沙，毕业于华沙美术学院，是一位多才多艺的原创材料艺术创作者。
其作品被世界各地博物馆的收藏:如梵蒂冈博物馆、长滩艺术博物馆、罗兹中央博物馆、林乐成纤维艺术博物馆、北京航天博物馆等以及在一些美国公共建筑如市政厅、教堂、医院、和犹太教堂展出。其艺术作品首次在美国展示了波兰几个世纪纤维艺术的发展。
当教皇约翰·保罗二世访问芝加哥时，雷曼赠与其编织的教皇肖像挂毯。经美国电视台报道后，越来越多人了解到了波兰挂毯艺术教育。此后雷曼也多次受邀在美讲授挂毯艺术，美产生波兰挂毯热。雷曼是Zwiazek Polskich Artystów Plastyków成员，她活跃于展览、策展、艺术创作领域。她对当地语言和文化的了解帮助她在亚洲和美洲更好地推广波兰艺术和文化。雷曼的相关传记在波兰出版，里面收入了其大量作品。
雷曼开发了一种原始的三维纤维艺术风格，用多变的形状和丰富的颜色和纹理来表达艺术主题。她还热衷于可穿戴艺术。2017年2月，她的服装在加州帕洛斯佛得斯的国际可穿戴艺术展览上获奖。可穿戴艺术是由波兰艺术学生发明的，在20世纪70年代，因无法购买时尚或原创的服装，他们自己制作出了具有特色的可穿戴艺术。

A native of Warsaw and a graduate of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, Monique Lehman is an accomplished and original material art creator.
Her work may be found in museum collections around the world: the Vatican Museum, Long Beach Museum of Art, Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź, Prof. Lin Lecheng Fiber Art Museum, Beijng and the Space Museum in Cape Canaveral, FL, as well as in many American public build-ings, city halls, churches, hospitals, and synagogues. Her creative output continues the centuries-old development of unique, contemporary fiber art tradition, previously unknown in America and created exclusively by Polish artists.
When the Pope John Paul II visited Chicago, Monique greeted him by presenting his portrait which she wove as a 6’ x 4’ tapestry. Since American TV showed this event on the news, the pub-lic learned about the Polish tapestry school. Monique was invited to lecture about art and soon Polish tapestries became desirable objects for American collectors. Ms. Lehman, a member of Zwi-azek Polskich Artystów Plastyków, shares her time between exhibiting, working on large commis-sions, and curating art shows. Her knowledge of languages and cultures help her to promote Polish art in Asia and the Americas. Monique’s accomplishment is bringing European visual criteria to America and China, as well as sharing Polish culture. Lehman’s biography, richly illustrated with photos of her artwork, was published in Poland.
She developed an original style of three-dimensional Fiber Art, mobile sculptures that change shapes, and have a rich palette of colors and textures to express their themes. Her unique passion is Wearable Art. In February 2017, she received a prize for her garment at the International in Pa-los Verdes, California. This type of art was invented by Polish art students, who could not buy fashionable or original clothes in the 1970s, so they made their own.
