NADA New York 2024

For nearly twenty years, Małgorzata Szymankiewicz has been creating abstract compositions that negate the rapid dynamics of changing trends and fashions. She describes her paintings as processual, time-consuming and unhurried, not far-removed from the tenets of slow art. Her most recent works do not comment directly on the surrounding reality, but mark a return to forms created using a special kind of painterly process with its own unique pace – one that involves adding multiple individual layers of paint, thus offering overstimulated eyes a chance to rest.
