A well known artist in her native Poland Ms.Sochaniewicz built her reputation there as a leader of the Neue Wilde movement, a trend in painting emphasizing expressive figuration. In recent years, however, she has moved increasingly towards abstraction, while retaining the style and intensity of her figurative work. Her SOHO20 show features a number of abstract paintings of uncommon energy, originality and emotional range.

  In short, Ms.Sochaniewicz has created a uniquely and challenging body of work that eludes easy classification and hence, merits our attention.
