ANDREA PRZYGONSKI
Based on the unceded lands of the Kaurna people, Andrea Przygonski is a multimedia artist and curator whose practice intersects print, installation, light, sound, textiles and sculpture. Educated at Adelaide Central School of Art, AC Arts, School of the Art Institute of Chicago and University of SA, she holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts (2008) and Master of Visual Arts (2018).
With a creative focus on personal narratives and contemporary social, political, and environmental issues, Przygonski’s work is expressed as abstract forms created through a process of serial iteration.
Merging analogue and new or emerging technologies and materials to produce static, immersive and interactive work, Przygonski translates her concepts through a broad repertoire of media which has led to a keen material knowledge. This includes the use of handcut stencils for complex multi-coloured screenprints; lasercut/etched acrylic and fabrics or 3D prints for sculptural elements; and handwoven digitally designed jacquard textiles as a translational tool for analogue imagery.
An important part of Przygonski’s activities is working collaboratively with other artists. This has led to residencies in USA and Canada and mentorships working with several Australian and international artists to create collaborative installation works. She continues to curate the Sister City intercontinental collaborative project and is currently Coordinator and Curator for The Pod Gallery in St Peters.
Przygonski has a broad exhibition history and has been supported through various programs, acquisitions, scholarships, grants and awards. In 2022, she was one of 3 artists selected for the Illuminate Adelaide Graduate Pathway Program and most recently selected as a finalist in the 2025 Burnie Print Prize and awarded an Artist in Residence at Sauerbier House.
Dedicated to expanding her skills, Przygonski works collaboratively with other artists, and engages in new ways of thinking and making to create approachable and compelling work that expresses her sensibilities. It is important to her that the work draws in the audience to pause and feel something new or familiar in themselves.
