Profile Information

About Me:
I graduated with an M.F.A from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Poland.
I began as a figurative painter. By the early 1990’s, I had become a purely abstract painter - though my figurative background is still evident in my drawings. Currently I paint on a variety of media - canvas, cardboard, cd-rom discs and apply a wide range of techniques to the surface.
I shown my work in several solo and group shows in New York, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Mexico City, Berlin, Hamburg, Prague, Budapest and Warsaw.
My works are in many private collections in Europe and USA.
Also photography is an area of interest.
I live in Brooklyn, New York.
Are You artist?
Yes
About my art
“Recent Paintings”, solo exhibition in SOHO20 Gallery
New York, September, 1998
"A well known artist in her native Poland Ms.Sochaniewicz built her reputation there as a leader of the Neue Wilde movement, a trend in painting emphasizing expressive figuration. In recent years, however, she has moved increasingly towards abstraction, while retaining
the style and intensity of her figurative work. Her SOHO20 show features a number of abstract paintings of uncommon energy, originality and emotional range. There is a great diversity of color, line, and mood but a unity of style.
Compositionally, Ms.Sochaniewicz utilize the methods of repetition and recursion as well as unique color sense in the service of an unapologetic painterly illusionism. Thus, in some of the works, slashes of thick acrylic paint form dense tickets, creating surfaces that function like portals to maze-like worlds topographies oscillate between geometry and biology. At the other times, her lines form teeming groups or microbe-like entities hunting in packs. And finally in her more serene moods Sochaniewicz blends lines into wave like color
fields on which small flecks of light paint float like foam.
In short, Ms.Sochaniewicz has created a uniquely and challenging body of work that eludes easy classification and hence, merits our attention."
