Berntson Bhattacharjee is excited to announce the upcoming solo exhibition of Alicja Biała (b. 1993, Poznań). Biała is a multidisciplinary and multimedia artist based between Poland, the Netherlands, and the UK. She received her BA at the Royal Drawing School, London (2022) and MA at the Royal College of Art, London (2023). In her practice, she experiments with scale and materials, with works ranging from large-scale murals and sculptures to architectural and lighting installations, and from drawing to etchings. Her work, both speculative and interrogative, references pagan motifs and interweaves tradition with the political and personal tensions of everyday life, while examining Slavic histories, migration, politics, the formation of cultural identity and environmental degradation, ultimately aiming to cut into our shared cultural past.
Opening preview 18 September
This project is in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland.
