Koscielak Gallery: Aleksandra Rdest

Aleksandra Rdest works and lives in Toronto, Canada. Her painting is abstract and subtle. In her works she creates strong contrasts between the narrative title and the abstract image. Openness, clarity, and flatness distinguishes her paintings.

Rdest graduated from the Ontario College of Art & Design in 2002. She received the Davis L. Stevenson Scholarship and the Av Isaacs Scholarship. Her works were featured in several group and solo exhibitions, including the Pari Nadimi Gallery in Toronto, and the Studio Gallery in Yokohama, Japan, among others.
