Exhibiting Artist

Basia Krol was born and raised in Warsaw, Poland. She studied painting and printmaking at Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. She currently lives and works in Galesburg, Illinois, where she finds inspiration in the local prairie nature preserves.

"Contemplation of the land, its cycles and seasons, are fundamental to Krol’s latest body of work. Krol’s exploration of the painting medium builds from visceral, textured abstraction of marshy bogs and prairies to sinuous descriptions of tree limbs with glassy reflections in clear creeks. Throughout, Krol cultivates a loose, responsive handling of paint that conveys a sense of immediacy and dynamism."

The current show, "Wildering," will be on view through June 11, 2022.

About the Gallery: Eat Paint Studio is located at 5036 N Lincoln Ave in the Lincoln Avenue North Arts District (LANA), close to public transportation and metered parking. Chicago artist Emily Rapport opened the gallery in 2018 with an aim toward combining her studio practice with a public exhibit space. The gallery mission is to engage people in the art-making process and, through exhibitions in its storefront gallery, to integrate art into daily lived experience.
