Exhibitions — Magdalena Zych

Rewilding: Breath of Creeping Shadows, BWA Warszawa

Group exhibition realized as part of the Art of Nature Protection project marking the 25th anniversary of WWF Poland, featuring 28 artists. The works explore human relationships with nature and responses to ecological crisis. The exhibition was accompanied by a charity auction at DESA Unicum, with proceeds supporting the establishment of a private nature reserve in the buffer zone of Biebrza National Park.

Curator: Olga Mzhelskaya

Human (Nature), CAMP Gallery, Miami

Duo show with Joanna Ambroz, presented as part of CAMP's inaugural Incubator Space. The show brought together two painters exploring nature from different angles — Ambroz through the internal landscape of personality, Zych through the external world of biological forms infused with eroticism and fertility.

Collective Coming Out: Invisible Weights, Pawilon Bliska 12, Warsaw

Group exhibition exploring mental health, emotional exclusion and the experience of living with different psychological states. Magdalena Zych contributed the installation Miejsce przepoczwarzania — a safe space conceived as shelter during periods of anxiety and difficult transformation.

VOLTA Art Fair New York

Selected works were presented by CAMP Gallery in a curated presentation by Gabe Torres.

The meeting, Van Rij Gallery, Kraków

A solo exhibition exploring interspecies encounters as a form of contemplation and relation-building. The paintings depict organisms in constant biological motion — flowing, transforming, entangled — questioning the boundaries between human and non-human anatomy. Through these portraits of non-humans, the work invites a shift away from the Enlightenment ideal of detached observation toward mutual dependency, where every encounter changes both sides.

Curator: Jakub Pojda

Wilgotne sfery, Galeria Prześwit, Warsaw

A solo exhibition presented at Galeria Prześwit in 2023, curated by Karolina Kliszewska. The series of paintings was inspired by moisture as a source of life, a space of growth, and a symbol of ecological and bodily regeneration. Biomorphic forms, soft bodies, and aquatic organisms created an alternative vision to cultures of control, drying, and the subjugation of nature.

Przepoczwarzanie, Rotacyjny Dom Kultury na Jazdowie, Warsaw

Przepoczwarzanie (Metamorphosis) was an exhibition project combining painting and installation, inspired by the process of metamorphosis. Its central element was an installation conceived as a space of shelter — referring to the need for withdrawal, regeneration, and inner transformation in a world dominated by the cult of productivity. The exhibited paintings explored themes of growth, birth, and care, approaching painting as an outcome of the process of transformation.
