'Dear Grey City' is Zoltaszek's love letter to her environment and treasured objects which surrounded her when she was growing up. The grey, drab and long winters, and concrete architecture were a backdrop to the family home filled with trinkets, beautiful objects, and books. This stark contrast led to Zoltaszek’s habitual search for beauty in everyday objects and escaping into imaginary worlds, thus creating artworks brimming with colour and life.
The exhibition features a collection of Zoltaszek’s recent paintings, weaving them into a curated installation of objects.
The exhibition is free and open to the public
