Studio Stories – Agata Wojcieszkiewicz

No Comments

Another entry from our blog series called Studio Stories where we hand our blog over to our lovely tenants giving them the platform to share their news and events. You can see all our current tenants online here.

For this Studio Stories we’re handing over to Agata Wojcieszkiewicz, a fine artist based in Studio 11.

Agata grew up in Poland in the coastal city of Gdansk, where she also studied and obtained an MA in Fine Art Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in 2011. Shortly after graduating Agata moved to England to start her professional career as a painter. Since then, she has worked on numerous commissions and her work has been seen in many exhibitions in the UK as well as in her native country.


Agata has been organising and creating work for a solo exhibition in The Mezzanine Gallery at The Spring Arts and Heritage Centre in Havant which opened today!

The exhibition shows a collection of pieces from her ‘Assimilation’ series that she’s have been working on during the past three years. The exhibition runs till the 30 December 2018.

Agata shares the inspiration behind the pieces: “Time, place and identity are important to me. I am an immigrant stuck in limbo between the past and present worlds, unable to feel at home in my adopted country yet no longer having a sense of belonging in my home country, all at once alienated and anonymous wherever I may be. The imagery from the past and present of my surrounding world is brought together in the timeless whole of my art – I am the faceless silhouette of a labourer or a cleaner, depicting the anonymity and marginalisation of such existences as well as the impotence within the wider socio-political context”.

Those interested in seeing Agata Wojcieszkiewicz: Solo Exhibition are invited to join Agata for the opening night which will take place on Thursday 15 November from 6-8pm. Drinks and nibbles will be provided.
Those wanting to find out more can click here or visit Agata’s website.
We wish Agate every success with this exhibition and we hope this event will be a huge success for her.
