WARSAW GAL­LERY WEEK­END 2020

Karolina Jabłońska, Sophie Thun
ROOM TOUR

The heroine of the works of Karolina Jabłońska and Sophie Thun is a young woman, an artist seeking per­sonal liberation and empower­ment in art. Room Tour is an exhibitionist inspec­tion of the space in which she creates. A room of one’s own, once a symbol of creative eman­cipation, now becomes a space of loneliness and melan­choly in the time of the pan­demic and the social isolation it has imposed.

2018/19 exhibitions

SLIPPERY

“Slippery” at Raster is Karolina Jabłońska’s first individual show in Warsaw. In her pain­tings girls wear rings and guys wear wat­ches, but the stereo­typical logic of dominance is rever­sed. The heroines here are idols, sooth­sayers and thieves, and relation­ships and pas­sions explode as violen­tly as they end, in emotion. Here exag­geration and hyper­bole are the rule for both com­position and life.

POTENCY

Hellish Road, Ear­th­worms, The Night­mare, Stran­gling, Snake & Tit—we are showing these and other works pain­ted in recent months, weeks and days in an exhibition of three young artists wor­king in the Kraków district of Zabłocie. The “potency” from the title is the name of the small gal­lery they foun­ded together and have operated for the last couple of years, but also an expres­sion of a ravenous appetite: for unfeigned emotions, for pain­ting every day and grab­bing pic­tures by the throat. A Warsaw premiere of the most promising pain­ting for­mation to rise up in recent years.
