Lives and works in Warsaw. Malarstwo Agaty Bogackiej jest pelna determinacji próba zlozenia wlasnego, silnie spersonalizowanego swiata w oparciu o charkterystyczny i latwo rozpoznawalny jezyk formalny. Podmiotem lirycznym jej obrazów jest artystka mloda kobieta przygladajaca sie wnikliwie samej sobie, ale równiez nawiazujaca relacje i zwiazki z innymi osobami. Dystans, tak sensie fizycznym jak i psychologicznym bliskosc lub samotnosc jest w tym malarstwie jednym z kluczowych wymiarów. Obrazy Bogackiej konsekwentnie operujace gladkimi powierzchniami tla, a co za tym idzie pozbawione iluzjonistycznie oddanej glebi przestrzennej, sa jednak w kapitalnym stopniu skupione na relacjach miedzy postaciami i przedmiotami. Bogacka stworzyla jedna z najbardziej wyrazistych i autentycznych wizji zycia intymnego we wspólczesnej sztuce polskiej. Jest tu zarówno wielkomiejska samotnosc, której rekwizytem staje sie telefon komórkowy ( Agata 2001, 2001), jak i intensywny, senny róz; odbicia samej siebie w lustrze i szczesliwi kochankowie jednej plci ( Ebo & Drug, 2004).
