Joanna Trzcińska - "I came to see you, but you weren’t at home" | vernissage

Apart from talent and sensitivity, the value of the work of art is determined by its intimacy. Clear presence of personal analogies in the most universal forms of massage – even when the author remains anonymous. This concerns both works from our prehistoric times, ancient and modern times, as well as the contemporary period. The works of Joanna Trzcińska are filled with artistic sensitivity which, deprived of opportunistic calculation, does not need to use provocation to introduce the recipient to the proposed areas of her privacy. She convinces us with the truthfulness we feel and with institutional independence, not so popular these days. She invites us to her own world of formal solutions and reasons behind her artistic work, free from the obligation of correctness concerning ideological fashion and promoted trends. She expresses her artistic views on the plain, but she is also able to build intriguing spatial situations from the gathering of such plains, drawing the viewer into an arranged crowd of graphic objects.
