In her first solo exhibition, 27-year-old Hungarian artist Zsofia Schweger – selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2016 – will be presenting work created exclusively during her six-month Griffin Art Prize residency. The Griffin Art Prize is a unique opportunity that awards recent art graduates the time and space to develop their practice through a residency above Griffin Gallery.

Zsofia’s strikingly colourful yet muted paintings sensitively portray feelings of home, belonging and identity as a Hungarian emigrant living and working in the UK. Born in 1989, the year that saw the fall of the Berlin wall, Zsofia experienced the first waves of new capitalism, and an influx of western culture in Eastern Europe. From the excitement of watching American cartoons for the first time, to the anticipation of being taken to the only Burger King in her town, Zsofia grew up in a time where hope and freedom emerged following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
