Exclusive to the Gallery, the artist’s second UK solo show delves into the calming depths of yogic poses, mediation and mindfulness. Known for her beautiful portraits of strong female characters, Adamaszek shares with you hidden beauty in East London this summer. With all pieces available to purchase and prices ranging from £40-£2,100 everyone is able to take home a slice of tranquility this summer.

Since her first solo show in 2013 with CDG, Adamaszek has carved a niche for herself in UK street art, and her paintings span many a genre. Unable to put her work in box, her urban inspired techniques of spray paint layered over delicate hand-drawn charcoal lines create ethereal beauty and character. Hannah displays every woman’s beauty and strength in each of her pieces stating “the women are subtle yet strong, bold yet delicate; balancing these contradictions gives each piece its own unique and mysterious charm.”
