Whichever art form Dorota Szuta explores, she does so with methodical swiftness and lightness. She adds harmony to songs, in a what-was male dominated art form, she becomes the subtle spotlight. Her lyrics, like her art, are minimal and wondrous, with an inescapable bout of nineties goof. Perhaps simple in stroke, her songs feel everlasting in truth. In both her music and art she is bold- maybe you noticed from the butts she drew, or the words she sang, but with them comes a softness and tenderness, making her an elastic powerhouse of whatever she involves herself with.

The linocuts of "quick and dirty" are a view to the sweet and languid humanity we experience, yet hide, in our day to day. The series centers around themes of sensuality and intimacy with a hint of erotica.
