Ewelina Bochenska's Liminal Artifacts Featured in Brooklyn Exhibition and artcritical Interview

Ewelina Bochenska's exhibition, titled Icaros para Alma, is set to launch at M. David & Co in Brooklyn on January 11 and will continue until January 27. Bochenska, who received the artcritical prize at the New York Studio School alumni exhibition, specializes in creating intimate objects that merge painting, fiber art, and sculpture. Her works, often enveloped in yarn and layered with materials such as wood, leather, or lace, are described by her as containing an 'alien substance' with 'otherworldly' qualities, referred to as 'artifacts from the future.' Her inspirations include Polish folk art and the Aymara culture from the Andes. Recently, she prepared for a group exhibition, 'A Montage of Heck,' running from October 12 to November 4 at M. David Studios. The artcritical prize, which includes an interview feature, was awarded by jurors Julie Heffernan and Jennifer Samet, following last year's win by Clintel Steed. Bochenska's synesthetic exploration of color and texture was also evident in her work for the all-female show 'X Marks the Spot' at the New York Studio School. Having studied business and lived in Ireland and London, she is contemplating a trip to South America for creative inspiration, aiming to harness 'the energy of change to catapult myself.'
