Agnieszka Mlicka (b. 1983, Poland) studied Fine Art at the University of Oxford and received her MA in Painting at the University of the Arts London in 2007. Her practice is a combination of painting and drawing, inspired by architecture, the city and urban planning. Agnieszka adopts the architect’s visual language to show the city as a system of architectural structures, linguistics and cartography. The two dimensional works are often part of a site-specific installation, through which she reflect on the urban planner’s ideological practice which aims at controlling and manipulating our urban environment. The works emphasise the schism between the mental space of the urban planner and the social space of the citizens who are the real ‘producers of space’. The result is simultaneously a critique of urban planning - a system which controls society - and a fascination with the belief in perfection of the architectural practice.
