Greenwich Open Studios 2025 12-14 and 19-21 September/ "Work in progress" by Aleksandra Niemczyk | Painting and printing workshops

Since 1978, Greenwich Open Studios has given Londoners a chance to visit the studios of Blackheath and Greenwich’s thriving artist community - to see and talk to the artists at work, and potentially pick up a new piece for home or work.

This September, artist and curator Aleksandra Niemczyk invites you to view her works-in-progress at Gallery White Box as part of Greenwich Open Studios 2025. There will also be finished pieces available to buy. The event takes place on the weekends of 12-14 and 19-21 September, and Aleksandra encourages you to download a map of the participating artists and visit as many studios as you can handle!

Aleksandra’s open studio offers a chance to see the process and different stages of the artist’s current paintings in progress, and to browse and purchase some older sketches and prints.

Aleksandra will be working on a series of paintings to accompany a forthcoming exhibition of pottery objects by artist Flora Fabris (17-26 October).

Flora’s pieces convey the Japanese wabi-sabi spirit of acceptance of transience, irregularity, process, and unpredictability in three-dimensional objects. Aleksandra will respond to this theme through her own language of paint, tactility, and simple colour study on canvas and paper.

Artist biography

Aleksandra Niemczyk is an abstract painter living and working in Blackheath/Greenwich, London.

She uses mixed media techniques to create non-figurative paintings full of intensity and colour, often inspired by her current landscape. Her latest works draw inspiration from the art of Boro and the pigments of Japanese textile art.

Niemczyk’s formal training includes an MA in Fine Arts (Painting and Lithography) and an MA in Film Directing from Béla Tarr’s radical film.factory program in Sarajevo.

She exhibits internationally and in the UK, where her work was recently selected for the Royal Society of British Artists’ 200th Anniversary Exhibition. Niemczyk’s works feature in many private and public art collections, among them those of Focus Bank and Louis Vuitton in Oslo, Norway.
