Zuzanna Soińska. Abstrakcje. Wernisaz wystawy prac na drewnie. 30.09.2011
Kurator: Tatiana Rasała
Zuzanna Soińska graduated with honors from the Department of Conservation and Restoration of Paintings and Polychrome Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Thanks to the experience she gathered during her studies, internships and from the conferences worldwide from Australia to U.S.A. her work has the exceptional taste of multicultural breeze. After graduating, she was an intern at the Hamilton Kerr Institute, (University of Cambridge, UK) which is one of the world's leading centers for teaching and research in the conservation of easel paintings. She also gained her experience among other places in Hochschule fur Bildende Kunste in Dresden, Getty's Conservation Institute in L.A. and National Museum in Warsaw. Zuzanna is a paintings conservator, painter, gilder and copyist. Being a conservator and painter at the same time gives her a unique perspective on the subject of creation. Thanks to the years spent on analyzing the old Masters techniques and technologies, she is fully aware of the significance of the dedication that every work of art requires during creation and combines it with fresh expression and light form. In her work she merges the oil painting with gilding techniques acquiring either ephemeral and fragile forms dancing on the gilded areas or dynamic and powerful shapes seizing the space formed on the painting. The balance of light and shadow on the half glossy half mat surface provide the viewer with additional depth to look into, feel and interprate.
While working as an art conservator Zuzanna is often in very close relations with the works of some of the most known artists. This experience is constantly inspiring her to improve her own style and search for new ways to express herself. She spent some time at Hochschule fur Bildende Kunste in Dresden in Germany. After graduating, she was an intern at the Hamilton Kerr Institute, University of Cambridge in Great Britain, which is one of the world's leading centers for teaching and research in the conservation of easel paintings. She also practiced in many conservation departments, for example at the Jasna Góra Monastery in Częstochowa or Memory Place Museum in Auschwitz-Birkenau. She took clasess from techniques and technology of painting, by copying the Paintings of the Masters in National Museum in Warsaw. She has significant experience in conservation and many completed works including ‘Apollo (or Hymen) crowning a Poet and giving him a Spouse’ by Jacopo Tintoretto among her accomplishment.
All her experience as an art conservator helped her to create her own painting technique, combined of gilding and oil painting. In her abstract forms she express the essence of her message at the same time leaving wide field for viewers own interpretation.

Grazyna Bartnik works with clear geometric forms maintaining an exquisiteness of minimalistic compositions. Her abstract artworks are conceived as a logical extension of her Recycling art projects.
Creating her artworks she invents her own instruments and discover new ways of using convention tools. This is the concept of creativity leading to the discovery of opportunities of Eco art. Giving a wide range of senses to her conception, she investigates meanings of layering and searches for new structures in objects in a plane.
There is a delicate existans of Mark Rotkos conseption in her artworks. They contact with audience using a pacifying harmony of color expression and composition. Grazyna Bartnik creates capabilities of subtle interaction of artworks with the audience using combinations of colors and structures that traded directly to subliminal consciousness. A reflex perception of dark shades gives a intuitive interaction disclosure precision structures. Primary structures of her works are refined, delicate lines or subtle patterns - it’s a way of centering a space. In fact her art fells like a very strong and manly conception. Her abstract work look like mathematical formulas, it’s a kind of accurately calculated fractals.
Exploring an objectivism of minimalistic art, Grazuna Bartnik draws the viewer into the system of reflective relations with an art-object.
Grazyna Bartnik is a recycling artist with well-developed concepts of art. She is investigating an enchantment of materials from a real life such as cardboard boxes, developing her own creative method by making delicate connections of environmental art and post pop art.

Gosia Kosiec. Digital Portraits. First Preview. 23.09.2011 18.30
Gosia Kosiec.
Digital Portraits.
New artist in BK Contemporary.
First Preview.
Collectors Cocktail.
Gosia Kosiec paintings are mostly based on typography. She uses letters, digits and symbols to constract multy-layered works that are either figurative or abstract. These works are a metaphor of a contemporary Babel tower, mixed up languages and cultures; excessive, chaotic information and distorted communication.

Różnym formom natury zawsze towarzyszą różnego rodzaju iluzje. I w tym samym czasie są zawsze ściśle związane z rzeczywistością. Fantazja i iluzja zapoczątkowują wizualny obraz, który jest odroczony w umyśle przyjemnymi okolicznościami. Sztuka pełna świecącego słońca, błękitnej wody i magicznie beztroskiego relaksu jest także pełna fantomów wietrzności. Fotorealistyczne malarstwo
koncentruje się na wyświetlaniu wspólnych wizualnie symboli. Malarze fotorealiści tworzą bardzo iluzjonistyczne obrazy, które nie odnoszą się do natury, ale do reprodukcji obrazu.
Kasia Domańska pracuje ze słonecznymi obrazami idyllicznego szczęścia, które można zobaczyć na kolorowych stronach gazet i pozostawić w ludzkiej świadomości jako trwały model dobrobytu.
Bawi się refleksją i prostymi skojarzeniami w niepowtarzalny sposób. W swoich pracach zamieszcza filozofię czystego piękna, rozumianego ontologicznie i obiektywne.
Projekt "Basen" pokazuje piękno atmosfery oraz wspaniałą grę światła i koloru. Deklaruje, że głównym składnikiem piękna jest zgodność. Postrzeganie piękna i wielu filozoficznych kategorii związanych z nim, takich jak błogosławieństwo i harmonia, jest specyficznym stylem życia.
Inspiracja pochodzi z prostych rzeczy jak kontemplacja i poczucie szczęścia. Dlatego Kasia Domańska spektakuluje kolory i stara się pokazać pełną głębokość odcieni w swoich pracach. Projekt "Basen"
pokazuje pełną gamę z niebieskim. Jest to stopniowe dochodzenie do różnych warstw i znaczeń w tej delikatnej kombinacji kolorów i odcieni. Słońce jest nie widoczne, ale zrównoważona jego obecność
ociepla kryształową wodę odczuwalnie wypełniając każdy obraz. Jasność kolorów tworzy odpowiedni nastrój jej dzieł. Czysta woda wygląda bardzo realistycznie i celowo kontrastuje ze schematycznie
przedstawianymi ludźmi. Jest to sposób na odseparowanie fotorealistycznych dzieł sztuki od malarstwa akademickiego. Tym samym daje to możliwość włączenia się i uruchomienia wyobraźni,
aby zdać sobie sprawę, że to tylko abstrakcyjna fantazja.

********
Different forms of Art are always accompanied by different kind of illusions. And at the same time they are always closely connected to reality. Fantasy and illusion begin with a visual image, which is postponed in the mind in pleasant circumstances. The art full of shining sun, magically blue water and careless relaxation is also full of phantom breeziness.
In general, photorealistic painting is focused on displaying common visual symbols. Photo-realist painters created highly illusionistic images that referred not to nature but to the reproduced image.
Kasia Domanska works with sunny images of idyllic happiness, which can be seen on colorful pages of magazines and stay in a human consciousness as a sustainable model of prosperity. She plays with reflection and simple associations in her own unique manner. It is a philosophy of a pure beauty implicated in her artworks. The beauty can be understood as something ontological and objective here. A project called «The swimming pool» shows the beauty of an atmosphere and a magnificent game of light and color. It declares that the main consistent of beauty is accordance.
A perception of beauty and a wide range of philosophical categories connected with it, such as blessing and harmony is a specific lifestyle.
An inspiration comes from simple things like contemplation and a sense of happiness. That’s why Kasia Domanska tends to spectral colors and tries to show a full depth or shades in her artworks. «The Swimming pool» shows a full variety of blue colors. There is a sequential investigation of different layers and meanings in this delicate combination of colors and shades. The sun can’t be seen, but a sustainable attendance of sun warming crystal water can be filled in every picture. Brightness of colors creates a proper temper of her artworks. Clear water looks very realistic and it deliberately contrasts with a schematic depicting of people. This is a way of separating photorealistic artworks from an academic painting. It also gives an opportunity to turn on an imagination and to realize, that it’s just an abstract fantasy.
