One of the smallest pieces in our exhibition. Mural artist has created a matchbox which looks like one of her stunning abstract murals in miniature.
KARC earned her Master's degree in sculpture from Gdansk's Academy of Fine Arts in May 2019. After graduation, she relocated to Alaska and later to New York, experiencing life in both a remote village near glaciers with real threats of bears and lynxes, and the vibrant urban jungle of New York City. In December 2019, she volunteered in Eastern Ukraine, helping people living in the Ukrainian-Russian conflict zone. Amidst the pandemic, she moved to London and began decorating the city with abstract graffiti compositions. Since then painted over 100 walls ,ranging from massive 6 stories high walls to small local walls. Her main focus in painting is abstraction, heavily influenced by her background in Sculpture, which leads her to perceive compositions as multidimensional and almost tangible. When painting, she creates her own rules and games, deriving pleasure from breaking them. One of these self imposed rules is the "Imperfect Mirror" principle, where she crafts various shapes and patterns, reflecting them at skewed and irregular angles, acknowledging the absence of perfect symmetry in nature.”
We did a little Q&A with ...
👉🏼If you could mastermind a heist on any gallery, at any time, where would it be, what would you pinch and why?
Moma -Collective Su***de, 1936 David Alfaro Siqueiros. This painting made an incredible impression on my life.
👉🏼If the world's greatest artists were on tinder, who would you match with and why?
Enrique Iglesias - I had a crush since childhood
👉🏼You've been nominated for the Turner Prize, it's the night before submission, you have absolutely nothing - who do you collaborate with (can be anyone!) and why?
I would ask on matchbox chat who has a free evening and want to help paint.
