Fields

Karolina Bielawska, Matthew Peers

At WSCHÓD, Warsaw, Poland

February 13 — March 20, 2021

Karolina Bielawska’s practice is charged with meditative meticuolouness and diverse abstract impressions. Artist’s paintings offer ambiguous narrative figures – geometrical lines, marks, biomorphic, asymmetric shapes, which very often conjure up painterly installations.


Matthew Peer’s objects, composed of everyday materials, incorporate models and patterns found in architectural surroundings. By cutting, cropping, rotating elements of found cardboards and crafts boards the artist is constructing a hand-crafted elusive and abstract sculptural forms, which employ improvisation as a working means.


Presented in the exhibition, a painting installation by Bielawska and sculptures by Peers do seem to have at least two aspects in common: irregularity and repetitiveness embedded in vividly discernable patterns.


Fields is a first and the last duo presentation by these artists at Wschód, Warsaw.
