Gosia Bartosik

In my work, I explore the interface between the body and the mind. I examine where they clash and where they work together.
I use contrasts, metaphors and scale shifts.
I employ subversion and humour.
I distort, provoke and probe.
With commitment and seriousness.

I explore themes that are closest to me: physicality, home, motherhood, as well as the humorous ugliness and dirt, and the relationships between living beings and the world. I create new, biologically inspired forms for these concepts. I manifest the physicality of processes.
I like black outlines.

I TAKE CARE OF THE MATERIAL I WORK WITH
I CHOOSE: MATERIAL – TOOL – SUBJECT

I work with paper, fabric, walls, and boards.
I use charcoal, pencil, paints, varnishes, ballpoint pens, pastels, crayons, and ink.
I enjoy working within a space where I am free to do anything.
I allow myself this freedom; I relish this responsibility, this opportunity, this liberty and spontaneity. My art is my thinking and feeling combined; it is my daily practice, my bastion, my refuge, my voice, my home.
I take responsibility for what I have created; I do not take responsibility for what my works may create for yooou.
