Asia Bakalarska (Polish, b. 1975) is a London-based artist and works primarily within the medium of painting. Her work explores the notion of self-representation and identity. These richly colourful and carefully composed paintings are saturated with the presence of the subjects, existing or imagined. Through her practice, Bakalarska ponders on the fragility of human identity and how identities are created in private and public spaces.

Her latest body of work is a continuation of her fascination with the human figure and the way we construct the multiple selves on the internet and social networks. These figures, frequently portrayed in surreal or unfamiliar settings, give way to an alternate reality.

Her first solo show ‘Between You and Me’ opened at Ten Gresham Street, London in 2022.
