Bosacki composes simple closed systems of symmetrical structures so as to show, by reworking the configurations they potentially offer, their inner complexity and their potential of inherent combinations, only to return to the starting point eventually. This is not, however, a return to the same river but rather a return to the initial question.
Piotr Bosacki’s oeuvre, and possibly he himself, is full of paradox – on the face of it Bosacki accepts to the full the Pythagorean order of the world, while in fact he appears as an artist who, pointing our fissures and cracks in the rational, presents himself as a lover of inconsistence, error, and chance.

mateusz sadowski

admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:43:03 +0000

2010 – Intermedia M.A. Diploma at D. Miroslaw Balka’s Studio and Painting Annex at D. Wojciech Lazarczyk Studio, Academy of fine arts in Poznan, Poland
Lives and works in Poznan.

Tension between sensual experience and intellectual construction is characteristic of Sadowski’s art. Sadowski often refers to natural landscape and derives from it his poetics, penetrates forest as archetipical terrain, he visits it in his dreams and transforms nature’s image into mental code so creating his own, contenplatively intensive pictures.

magdalena starska

admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:42:16 +0000

Magdalena Starska is an artist who seemingly works without a plan; open to changeable reality, she is at all times ready to carry out an unexpected project.
Deriving from dreams and hallucinations, the figures that people Starska’s drawing diary bring to mind mythology and themselves build up an elaborate and anarchist one. Starska consiously positions herself as a medium in between what’s internal and individual and what belongs to the social and common realm, and therefore should be seen as a kind of shaman. The rituals she is interested in come are close to everyday reality, and those she wants to create are city-bound, modern and inspirational.
