With help from Lubaina Himid, Glenn Ligon and more, Frieze's Artist-to-Artist initiative is supporting new talent

I've known Magda Stawarska for over two decades. Although our work contrasts aesthetically and differs in subject matter, we're both interested in revealing the hidden aspects of the memories and histories we explore.

Artistically, I'm interested in the layers of history you can peel back, but that's not how I paint. One of Magda's pieces in Frieze, for example, is a 20m by 20m print made with 12 layers of patterns.

All of our nominators have a longstanding commitment to supporting other artists in their own practice, through teaching, curating or setting up spaces to support artists.

Picking her for this project is also an opportunity to commemorate the many things I've learned from working with her in various ways.
