Barbarous Relic was the first UK solo show from the London-based artist. The exhibition brings together a video work (16 min) and an installation that explore the ideology, culture and beliefs surrounding capital markets and finance, and the visual culture of market speculation in particular. The video work follows a Dollarmite, a beloved children's character from the 1980s who has come to Earth to teach children about savings and banking, only to discover that the school banking programme, popular in Australia for over 90 years, was discontinued in 2021 after a review found it offered little educational value.

Tomasz Kobialka (b. 1983 Mielec) lives and works in London.

Kobialka’s artistic practice examines the ideologies and power structures through which financial and economic systems shape everyday life. Working across digital media, sculpture, and installation, the work often draws on personal experiences and narratives.

After finishing the MFA course at Goldsmiths University, Kobialka received the 2017 Studiomakers prize and an honourable mention at the 2017 EU Startpoint prize. This was followed by Finsbury Park (2019) a solo show at Interstate Projects, New York and a commission by Daata Editions (2019) screened at Vanity Projects Miami & New York & Art Night London. Notable exhibitions include: Sleeplessness (2022) at Videograms β€˜22 Vilnius, Obsession (2023), at NIDA Art Colony in NIDA, Lithuania. In 2023 Kobialka was one of eighteen artists to participate in the Channeling the Frieze Hallway Commission at the Frieze Art Fair in London to mark the 20th anniversary of Frieze. In 2025 the artist was part of The Gearwheel, Hardworking Hands and the Tired Exhibition Visitor, a group show at Editorial Gallery in Vilnius. Kobialka has participated in various artist development programmes including Deep Ecology in the Cognitive Capitalocene at the Saas Fee Summer Institute of Art (2022), LUX Critical Forum 2023-24 and Weird Economies, The Creepin' Illiberalist seminar (2024). Kobialka is currently a participant in the Conditions Studio programme (2024 - 2026).
