ENTER THE DRAGON exhibition by Ania Goszczyńska

Graphics showing face with mouth open and snake licking floorAnia was born in Warsaw, Poland, and studied at the Academy of Arts there, gaining an MA in Design. However, with time, her focus shifted to visual art and illustration. She moved to Hastings in 2016, and lives in the Old Town with her partner David Tibet of Current 93 and their 3 cats.

Inspired equally by pop kitsch and mediæval art, horror films and fairytales, she creates stark images with strong contrasts. In this exhibition, inspired by the beautiful interior of The Electric Palace Cinema, Ania presents artworks and posters inspired by her favourite films and film characters.

This is Ania's first art show at the Electric Palace as part of our Coastal Currents launch event. Prints are all available for sale in the cinema. Come early to see the show and meet the artist.

The Coastal Currents exhibition will be on display in the cinema auditorium throughout September to view before and after our public screenings.
