Untitled

The sour yellow color used in this textured piece was inspired by the aesthetics of the 60s and 70s.

Dividers

The intimate scale of the objects, modeled on the struc­ture of room dividers under­lines the idiosyn­cratic and imprac­tical nature of these items. The pain­tings they’re com­posed of are made of silk, hand-​embroidered, pain­ted and printed.

Krzysztof Pruszkowski
Barrier

In 1977, Krzysz­tof Prusz­kow­ski, a Polish-​born photographer residing in France today, was not yet a legal resident. As a man without a coun­try, he began a project that bore the stark, Polish title Barierka (Bar­rier). Over several months, he produced a few hun­dred black-and-white photographs depic­ting the streets of Paris, cut off at various angles by the metal bloc­kades residents have come to know so well. The exhibition of photographs and album reveal a series of images as in a silent film, with only one hero – barierka in the title role.

GIRL TALK

Rawlings seeks in her work a new, con­tem­porary female iden­tity: creative, sub­jec­tive, intuitive, and per­fec­tly at home in the digital world. Her intimate pain­ting com­bines visual bril­liance and mul­tiplicity with reticent con­tem­plation.
The main element of her “Girl Talk” exhibition is an instal­lation prepared from a range of objects of varying sizes modeled on the struc­ture of room dividers. The pain­tings accom­panying these sculp­tural pieces are made of silk, hand-​embroidered, pain­ted and prin­ted, in the spirit of a diary of images. The exhibition is com­pleted with charac­teristic, small easel pain­tings by Raw­lings, a con­tinuation of her intimate color studies.

Aneta Grzeszykowska
Skin Heads

Leather dolls—or rather head studies—were made by Grzeszykow­ska using scraps of material retrieved from secon­dhand leather clothing found in thrift stores.

Aneta Grzeszykowska
Untitled (model)

In this series of large-​format photographs, the artist brings her double to life. The effigy manufac­tured by a specialist firm is a faith­ful copy of her head and torso on a 1:1 scale. Grzeszykow­ska documents the process of applying makeup, eyelashes and eyebrows, and the framing and reduced distance create the illusion of con­fron­ting a real person.

HEAD, SKIN, FACE

The fabric of the skin, wrin­kles, hand gestures. The joint exhibition of works by Zofia Rydet (1911–1997) and Aneta Grzeszykow­ska (born 1974) is a show of two artists who use the camera to con­struct cap­tivating and rhetorically rich images of the female body.
