Malwina Chabocka
BIO
Malwina Chabocka (Warsaw, Poland)
Malwina Chabocka graduated from Central Saint Martins in London and Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. For a few years following graduation, she worked across several disciplines before making painting her primary focus. Author of two children's books, she developed site-specific events and art direction for theatre and operatic productions in London and Warsaw. She has participated in solo and group shows in the United Kingdom, Portugal and Poland, and been involved in numerous interdisciplinary projects.
The underlying theme of her work is the human psyche. With her art practice, she discovers what people don't express and admit, not just to others but to themselves. Hidden desires and repressed feelings, haunting memories, and inner conflicts; the pain and longing are the main subjects she explores through her artwork.

Itimacy
"Like Francis Bacon, I value chance and subconsciousness as important factors in creating a work of art because "the moment you know what to do, you're making just another form of illustration". And I am not interested in telling the viewer exactly what they're looking at. I want painting to work upon sensation, so that it is filtered and recreated through the viewer's own experience and imagination."

The ongoing "Intimacy" series investigates the complexity of human feelings in the context of intimate interactions between people. Pleasure, desire, joy, affection, submission, dominance, nostalgia, longing, and loneliness are often found juxtaposed in these physical and emotional relationships formed between two or more people. Gender is irrelevant here, for these feelings are experienced by everyone in every possible relationship with another human being, regardless of its nature. Intimate relationships are both a place of connection, a blissful shelter from the pains of life, a therapeutic zone, as well as a battlefield where we fight for our independence, dominance or reconciliation.
