Q-Art Open Crit
Sat 29 March 2014 –
Q-Art is a student/graduate run organisation that aims to break down the barriers to art education and contemporary art. They produce books, videos, workshops, and run a programme of monthly Open Crits across art colleges and gallery spaces in London.
Q-Art crits are open to artists of all backgrounds to meet others and develop and discuss art work in a diverse and constructive environment. At this event a mix of student, graduate, and self-trained artists will present work for discussion and feedback.
The Q-Art Presenting Artists:
Leon Pozniakow
I paint and I draw. Drawing from observation, I investigate any subject, ultimately to make a mutual connection. A connection that is as particular to the nature of drawing as it is unpredictable. Painting is a place where I talk to myself. The formation of an image is a concoction of voices. The Apollonian and the Dionysian combine. Passions are tempered by the Intellect. In this way, the act of painting can be a very sophisticated analytical process. My practice as an artist is dedicated to the exploration of the dual forces within our behaviour and I am interested in the personal interpretation and reaction to my images.
Leon Pozniakow is a graduate of The Princes Drawing School 2013; he currently lives and works in London as a tutor and artist.

Radoslav Ninov
My practice predominantly explores the language of painting and it’s validity today. My point of departure is working from life; pre-designed objects and set-ups which I subject to further manipulation, transformation, in order to bring ‘them’ to a world and nature of my own. Often they progress into more obscure narratives, which manifest into artificial situations and scenes.
Radoslav Ninov is a currently studying for his BA at Goldsmiths, living and working in London.

Olga Waller
I explore different materials and various styles as ways of self-expression. I love sculpture, interior, stage decorations and period costume design. Being born and brought up in St.Petersburg - theatre visits have always been a big part of my life. Now I feel very lucky to live in London and greatly enjoy it’s cultural diversity and the creative bunch of people it shelters. London itself is a stage with lots of characters and stories; I guess this is what captivates me and inspires me everyday.
Olga Walker is a self-taught artist living and working in London.
Beata Kozlowska
Recent work is based in majority on abstract drawings, using black and red pen on paper. The process of creation oscillates between gesture of child-like intuitive doodles, or primodial geometric elements and highly controlled, quasi-architectonic mapping. The intuitive drawings as a process of connecting with the inner energy in the body and the outer, so to speak, orchestration of the universal interconnecting energy, provide the possibility for unlimited re-creation, re-construction of the abstract, non-objectified dimension.
Beata Kozlowska graduated 2010 from The Chelsea College of Arts and Design (MA Fine Art); she currently lives and works in London as a tutor and artist.
