Alicja Biała is an artist working across media and scales. Biała initially gained attention with her large-scale public paintings, followed by her politically charged Polish Cut-Out series. She has since worked across scales, ranging from architectural installations to large interior sculptural lighting, etchings, paintings, and more. Her work incorporates a mixture of folk and environmental themes that bring the political and personal spheres of contemporary life into close proximity. She has received widespread press, and multiple awards, and is in numerous private and national collections. Biała graduated from The Royal Drawing School and holds a Master degree from The Royal College in London.
