selected works 2017-2020 by Mateusz Beznitz
“Creativity brings me a sense of life, sense of what makes me a human and why I am here on this Earth” - Beznitz “hi! i’m beznitz.” is an exhibition of Mateusz Beznitz’s paintings created from the time of his arrival in the UK in September 2016 up to the present day. This exhibition showcases his large scale paintings as well as a series of over 30 small abstract portraits. Marking a new period of time in his life, all of these works have been created in the UK - most in his current studio at Rogue, and others back in 2017 in his flat. Beznitz invites you to explore, contemplate, interpret, enjoy or dislike his work. His abstract expressive paintings are rather detached from conscious decision making and reveal intuitive aspects of his humanity, some would say they almost feel like visual poems. Beznitz is a European visual artist, painter and sculptor. He studied Fine Art at University of Technology and Humanities in Radom, Poland. Born in 1975 in Starachowice, Poland. Beznitz is currently based in Manchester, United Kingdom. He is a member and resident of Rogue Artists’ Studios & Project Space CIC, co-founding member of Europia Art Collective, and member of Artists Union England. The exhibition has been curated by Karol Kochanowski, co-founding member of Europia Art Collective.
