Others about Bartosz:Elisabeth Biondi, Visuals Editor at The New Yorker (about 'October' on the SOURCE website):'Documentary photography can be linear, telling a story with a beginning and an end. Or it can be more complex - addressing political thoughts and ideas. Bartosz Nowicki's work achieves it's import by using words and pictures, meshing images with sentences and using layout creatively. He provokes and forces us to pay attention to what he wants us to know.'Ken Grant, University of Wales, Newport (in a support letter for Third Floor Gallery):'Bartosz Nowicki whilst being a gifted practitioner and contributing centrally to the design and development of the exhibitions, is also an eloquent and astute visual researcher, who has successfully completed research into both 19th century photographic practice and, more recently, the migration of populations through a contemporary Europe.'Contact and other details:mobile: +447889926037email: nowicki81@gmail.com
