Oxmarket Contemporary

Oxmarket Contemporary, established in 1976, stands as one of the UK’s most unique spaces for contemporary art. Located in a beautifully restored historic church in Chichester, the gallery combines striking architecture with excellent lighting, creating an exceptional atmosphere that enhances the artworks on display. The ambiance of the old church, with its soft lighting and spacious interiors, perfectly highlights the details of each piece, fostering an ideal setting for interaction between the viewer and the artist. With this atmosphere, Oxmarket has become an iconic venue, merging the past with modernity and attracting art enthusiasts from around the world.

Since its inception, the gallery has hosted renowned artists from both the UK and abroad. Exhibitions have included works by artists like Andy Stewart, Louise Duggan, Bobby Dazzler, Imogen Pleydell-Bouverie, and Visvaldis Asaris. This diversity of styles and perspectives has established Oxmarket as a highly reputable space where artists from varied backgrounds and movements come together to engage in dialogue and share their experiences.

Rafał Dobosz, representing Artistic Avenue, is one of the latest artists to present his works in this remarkable gallery. His art, deeply rooted in emotional and spiritual exploration, aligns perfectly with the Oxmarket atmosphere. Dobosz employs a unique technique, combining multilayered structures and bold colours to create pieces full of energy and tension. The artist draws inspiration from the philosophy of the “Matrix”—a concept where life signals are transformed into expressions of love, understanding, and positive emotions. His paintings, a synthesis of his inner experiences, demonstrate how art can serve as a tool for emotional transformation, allowing for a more conscious perception of reality.

Dobosz’s participation in the exhibition attracted numerous collectors and art lovers, with the gallery providing a distinctive backdrop for his works. In places like Oxmarket Contemporary, history and modernity intertwine seamlessly, bridging the past and future of art. Alongside leading British artists, Dobosz showcases that Polish art holds an important place on the international stage, bringing a fresh perspective and new quality to the tradition of abstract painting.

Through a venue as extraordinary as Oxmarket, where history amplifies the impact of contemporary art, Dobosz has found an opportunity to engage in dialogue with viewers and fellow artists, marking an essential step in his artistic development.
