Aneta Grzeszykowska at Lyles & King

Aneta Grzeszykowska is apart of the Raster Gallery, an art space in Warsaw, Poland that is at the forefront of the European contemporary art market.

The first gallery is focused on the “No,” a negation of body, identity, and memory featuring negative images in which she painted her whole body black to appear hyper-bright in the photos. In addition, this section features “Franciszka,” a black leather doll acting as a real-life, 3-D negative. The second section, the “Body,” features photographs of doll parts made out of pig-skin captured in the style of a “selfie.” The resulting images are strikingly human in appearance, calling to question the materiality of the body.
