Mother Nature, 2021
As in most of her paintings, Zofia Pałucha’s poetic cannot be interpreted in simple terms. Having the world on your fingertips, on your laptop and phone screen, and using painting’s contemporary language in all its potential, Pałucha creates unique imageries evocating a charming combination of fear and excitement for the void. It’s a mere form of rebellion against conventions and the lack of imagination, against nationalism and all the diseases that hit modern societies since only those who create to transform the world can contribute to its progress.
Zofia Pałucha (b. 1993, Poland) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and is a doctoral student at the Doctoral School of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, the city where she lives and works. Recently, Zofia Pałucha has presented her works in a duo exhibition at Promocyjna Gallery in Warsaw (2023), a solo exhibition at Berlinskej Model Gallery in Prague (2021), Piktogram Gallery in Warsaw (2020), a group exhibition at Zachęta National Gallery (2022), and a group exhibition at Wrocław Contemporary Museum (2021). The artist is a recipient of the Jerzy Grotowski Scholarship for 2023.
