Welcome to this special edition of The Grateful Web: Rogue Studios 30@30 celebrating 30 years of Rogue Artists’ Studios in Manchester.
Today I’m joined by Karol Kochanowski, a Polish-born artist and painter based at Rogue Artists Studios in Manchester. A graduate of Manchester Metropolitan University, Karol’s work has been shown across the UK, Germany, the US, and Greece, and in 2020 he received the Granada Foundation Gallery Exhibition Award at the Manchester Open for his piece Class.
Karol’s paintings explore the hidden layers of the subconscious, drawing viewers into a dialogue with what is unspoken and unseen. His practice is shaped not only by this fascination with the mind, but also by a deep commitment to human rights, cultural diversity, and the LGBTQI+ community. He is also a co-founder of EARTS, a collective supporting European artists in Manchester and beyond.
