ABOUT EXHIBITION
Exhibition opening: Wednesday, July 5, at. 19:00.The exhibition runs until September 2.
"All concepts can be understood in detail or in general; in detail when they refer to a particular object, and in general when talking about a broader field of action. Metaphor, too, can be understood more closely or more extensively, depending on the delineated field of consideration. It is easy to see that as culture develops, metaphors multiply and encompass larger and more important areas of social life, that we use figurations and analogies more and more boldly, as the totality of our thinking becomes increasingly detached from the concrete, becomes more abstract, and intensifies its tendency to intellectual speculation. All this is also reflected in art.
Our current exhibition presents eight artists using metaphor in painting, who are not a cohesive group, connected neither by artistic community nor even by a unified painterly thinking. What unites them is precisely the metaphorical nature of their works, and in addition to this, certain inclinations can be traced in their oeuvre, which - as means to achieve painted metaphors - are undoubtedly common to them. Let's take a look at the selected works, let them be evidence of a not fully overt, but acute and often perverse critical tendency in the art of metaphorics."
- Krzysztof Lipka, curator
