Featuring RU artist in residence Anna Orbaczewska in the RU voices interview series 🎤
Anna is a Gdansk-based Polish artist who made the following reflections on art and her practice: “Any artist should be, above all, true to oneself. To fulfill expectations of others is to negate the art itself. Art should be free. Art should be interwoven with an artist life. When I make art, I want to find a visual language for the things that I am going through and take it along my inner journey—to translate the barrage of emotions and traumas into almost-pictograms. I believe that art should address uncomfortable truths and rip the veils off dirty secrets, pain, and lies. There lies the strength and universal, relatable character of true art.”
Anna’s work was recently featured in the group exhibition, “Skin Deep” at the RU House on Governors Island, curated by Izabela Gola. We are thrilled to present our artists in residence through intimate interviews and inspiring conversations about them, their works and the city!
