Natalia Janula is a Polish-born artist and a researcher of Roma heritage currently based in London. Her artistic practice consists of sculpture, moving image, installation and performance.
She is interested in urban and natural environments and the slippage between the two. This is mirrored by her choice of synthetic and organic materials, from silicone and latex, to 3D prints, found objects and kinetic motors. Repeated themes within her work include hybrid queer bodies and interspecies relationships. She examines fictional landscapes, folklore, animal world and the ethereal. Janula works collaboratively and attempts to build a reciprocal ecosystem with individuals from various disciplines.
She exhibited in the UK, USA, Canada and Europe including solo exhibitions at New Art Projects (London) and Union Gallery; group shows including Chalton Gallery, the Horse Hospital, Final Hot Desert, Collective Ending, Iklectic, TBA Academy, Gossamer Fog, Embassy, Subsidiary Projects, Xxjira Hii, the Factory Project and Conditions amongst others. She also participated in residencies at Jupiter Woods, Camden Art Centre and Arts Territory.
Janula runs Sanford Vitrine alongside Estefania Araujo, an exhibition/curatorial local space presenting multidimensional artistic media at the unique vitrine in the gardens of Sanford housing coop.
