Agata Rawecka-Deelen is a Polish visual artist based in London. She received an MA in Printmaking and Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, and after completing her studies in Poland she partook in a residency at the famous lithographic Atelier Clot, Bramsen & Georges in Paris.
Everyday life is an important inspiration in Agata’s work, with many of her prints portraying the somewhat mundane places and situations she has encountered. Drawing is a key way for her to capture these situations, and it is these drawings that she uses to develop her prints and paintings.
Recently, Agata has been working on a series of prints that focus on the #metoo movement. These works are based on the emotional side of this difficult topic. “My aim is to use my expressionistic style to convey the deep emotional struggles connected to the movement,” says the printmaker. Agata works with a monotype-screenprint technique which allows her the freedom of painting combined with the unpredictability of printmaking. She comments; “I like to come up with new techniques and with mono-printing I’ve developed a unique technical approach which gives my work a unique touch using an unconventional approach”.
Agata has hosted several solo exhibitions in London, Switzerland, and Poland, and has taken part in up to 50 group exhibitions in Germany, Ukraine, Poland, Switzerland, Taiwan, the UK, and Japan. She describes a particular highlight in her career as the unique moment she met David Lynch when he visited a group exhibition which was themed around his work.
Currently, Agata is working from home, but is looking forward to getting back to the studio and painting and producing work on a much larger scale. She is hoping to release a book later this year with drawings of hidden gems in London.
