Chócherko Art is dynamically developing on the local market, cooperating with such brands as Rixos, Dubai Verse Cup,
Hats & Horses, Art Fusion Night and Artoze.
Chòcherko painting entitled Warrior Woman has been featured in Graphic Art 2021, the latest autumn collection of Medicine –
one of the leading Polish fashion brands.
Chócherko’s paintings are inspired by pop art, one of the most fascinating phenomenon in the art of the 20th century. It is anunceremonious, off hand art which draws from the modern highly industrialized civilization. It is an art that uses the attributes of mass culture, giving it the rank of an artistic phenomenon.
Making use of the creative alphabet and vocabulary of legendary artists who have stolen her heart and inspired her with their idiosyncratic style, Chócherko tells her own stories through prominent figures of film, stage, and art, as well as by incorporating snippets of her everyday life.
The common denominator of all these works is lightness, fun, colour and a wonderful distance to the serious, challenging issues that the present confronts us with.
