Agnes Grochulska presents Drawing From the Right Side of the Brain
You won't want to miss this. Join at The Branch Museum for the first workshop of the 2026 Maker's Studio series. Acclaimed Richmond based Contemporary artist Agnes Grochulska presents Drawing From the Right Side of the Brain. This 3-hour workshop offers participants the opportunity to learn from Agnes how to draw the human face with accurate proportions.
Agnes Grochulska is a contemporary artist working in oils and drawing media. She works across a variety of subject matter, including portraits, figures, and landscapes, with the underlying themes centering around the interconnectedness of all things. Her hope is to create thought-provoking work that is inviting the viewer to reflect on their own place in the world.
Agnes Grochulska studied at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in Poland, and lives and works in Richmond, Virginia.
Her work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows, including a recent solo exhibition of her work “Archetypes” at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, and a solo show “The Outline“ at Pulpo Gallery in Germany.
Her work has been published in several books and magazines (Juxtapoz, Colossal Magazine, Whitehot Magazine)
Her drawings and paintings have been shown and privately collected throughout the US and around the world.
Agnes Grochulska suggests themes and ideas in her work, but also leaves room for individual narrative, preferring to create works “in which not everything is fully realized. Art where the viewer can finish the story in their mind and in their own way.”
At the same time, the visible brush strokes, vivid colors and gestural character of her paintings offer their viewer an insight to the painting process itself. Her paintings express time spent looking and creating, an interest and a feeling for an irreplaceable time spent on creating. A feeling, not only for the portrayed person, but the person looking at the finished work as well. By highlighting the physical process of painting, Grochulska emphasizes the ever-shifting, intricate connection between the artist, the subject and the viewer.
