Roxy Kaczmarek (b. 1990) is a South African artist, printmaker and educator who lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa. Most recently Kaczmarek took part in a 3 month residency at the Leipzig International Arts (LIA) Residency programme in Leipzig, Germany.
Roxy Kaczmarek’s paintings and prints focus on the sensibilities and relationship between people and nature. She has developed a fascination with the separation and closeness of the natural world created within our lived environments and our attempts to carefully package our surroundings whilst we revel in the world’s wildness. Land and seascapes fascinate and captivate her imagination. A keen gardener, plants and their resilient ability to grow anywhere inspire her. Third Landscapes is her solo exhibition from this degree. Her paintings and prints for the exhibition Third Landscapes (2019) interrogates the intersection of plants and people within liminal spaces of the city. Attempting to break from traditional forms of printmaking, the work experiments with a combination of print and cement.
