Marta Pieregonczuk
MartaPieregonczuk is a London-based artist working across sculpture and painting.
Her practice is rooted in political science and sociology — disciplines that trained her to read the structures beneath the surface of everyday life. Living and working in Brent, she moves daily through one of the world's most culturally layered environments; the experience of comparison — what is here, what was elsewhere, what is said and what remains unspoken
— runs through everything she makes.
Her sculptural work looks closely at labour as a condition of identity: the way work defines and exhausts us, how class continues to organise social life, and how the growing presence
of artificial intelligence is reshaping what it means to be productive, valued, or visible. These works are dense, material and deliberate — vegan leather, plaster, charcoal and objects chosen for the ethical and cultural weight they already carry.
The paintings reach for something larger. Where the sculptures examine detail, the paintings attempt the view from above. Nature and its transformations provide the recurring grammar: light, cycles, the energy that passes between living things. These works are dark, heavily textured, and resist easy resolution. They ask what we cannot control, what we cannot fully name
— the forces that predate human systems and will outlast them.
Across both bodies of work, Pieregonczuk moves between the structural and the elemental,
the observed and the felt — asking what it means to be a conscious person inside a world.
