Niedziółka’s fascinating works are located at the crossroads of painting, drawing, and textile art. She uses canvases as pictorial supports for her large abstract stitchings in which her repetitive work with the material infuses these remarkable pieces with a lightness and a meditative gesture reminiscent of Marcia Hafif and Agnes Martin.

Niedziółka often assigns her works to individual work groups, Zero and At One are presented for the first time in the Zurich Showroom. Zero draws its inspiration from the Zero group of artists, founded in 1958 and based in Düsseldorf. The Zero paradigm of purist aesthetics and artistic new beginnings has been masterfully translated into oscillating images that appear to consist of fields of single, almost monochrome colors. The calculated irregularities in representation that unfold in the working process are what make the aesthetics of Niedziółka’s works so engaging and powerful. Using a colored pen, she draws irregular, horizontal lines between which she traces even finer lines applied with embroidery thread and vintage silk. The individual pictures are based on hues of color in beige-white, blue, or red, the nuances of which lend them rhythm.

The works from the series At One relate to Niedziółka’s Zero series in terms of form, bur reveals different thematic content. Here, the idea of a state of accordance and balance is the main focus. The artist is interested in the great difference in her approach to this work as compared to her Zero series. “At One was planned and even ‘designed,’ while Zero challenges time and the things that happen,” she says.
