Agnieszka Sandomierz
Biografia
In gouache she portrays the woman - sensually, intimately, in the everyday. Agnieszka Sandomierz - starting from a „new pop-art” - transcends its impersonality, making the female figure the heroine of her painting.
Agnieszka Sandomierz (b. 1978) is a painter associated with Warsaw. In 1998-2003 she studied at the Faculty of Painting of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts - painting under Professor Jarosław Modzelewski, drawing under Professor Tomasz Żołnierkiewicz - receiving her diploma with distinction in the studio of Professor Wiesław Szamborski, with an annex in mural painting. She co-runs the „No Entry” studio in the Praga district of Warsaw.
The starting point of Sandomierz's painting - as with several artists of her generation - is the „new pop-art”, visible in the matter-of-factness and ordinariness of the motifs she takes up. Her paintings, however, transcend the boundaries of impersonal pop-art: working often in gouache, she makes the female figure her main subject, shown in a sensual, intimate and everyday way.
Sandomierz belongs to the generation that entered the market with the wave of young-art auctions after 2008. Her works entered the first museum collection of the newest Polish art in the country - the Basil Alkazzi collection at the National Museum in Gdańsk (alongside, among others, Julia Curyło and the group The Krasnals) - and numerous private collections. The artist is represented by the Galeria Art in Warsaw.
