Ewa Podles
16th December 2024 - 2nd March 2025
In the studio from 16th December 2024 to 2nd March 2025, Ewa will work on a project called ‘Between’ - a merging of portraiture with abstraction to create a balance between the real and the undefined.
Inspired by both classic female portraiture and abstract art, Ewa plans to combine these two practices to further capture the essence of the female form openly and expressively. Combining the traditional portrait techniques with the abstract form, Ewa aims to build another layer of connection between the artwork and the viewer using various materials such as paper, canvas, ink and acrylic - hence the title, ‘Between’.
Looking at the surrounding physicalities of the Southbank and Bankside Hotel, Ewa’s main goal is to evolve her artistic process and create a collection of paintings that mirror the modern beauty of the hotel’s architecture. Through the synthesis of portraiture and contemporary abstraction, Ewa hopes to provide an immersive and creative experience for those who visit the studio.
