Karolina Dworska
Karolina Dworska (B. 1997, Rzeszów, Poland) is a Polish artist living and working in London, UK. She graduated from BA Fine Art at Goldsmiths in 2020, followed by a year-long Fine Art Junior Fellowship at the University. Dworska’s multidisciplinary practice explores dreams, mythologies and liminal fantasy spaces, situated between the unconscious and reality. Dworska utilises textile mediums, specialising rug-tufting, a technique in which she hand-constructs pictorial rugs, as well as using machine knitting and elements of sculpture to devise her works.
Littered with surreal motifs and mysterious inhabitants, her dreamscapes examine the strangeness, abject horror as well as the euphoria of corporeal existence. Desire and longing are also at the core of her work. Dworska explores the connection between recurring dreams and mythological allegory and how the seemingly private, internal dream space can be externalised to connect to contemporary narratives and anxieties. Intertextual, her work interweaves folklore, science fiction and the every day, reconfigured through the meditative lens of dreaming.
In 2021, she was one of the artists selected for the Bloomberg New Contemporaries, and her work has been exhibited internationally, including in London, Madrid and Seoul, and featured in numerous international publications, including Sztuka i Dokumentacja and El País, as well as Time Out Magazine, as well as recently exhibiting in ARCO Contemporary.
