Spiritual-Surreal Imagery Jakub Julian Ziolkowski's vibrant works
are bizarre and alluring. In his wild, surreal cosmos of mutant
humans, organic forms and circulatory systems, the Polish painter
mixes cultural symbols, the decorative and the fantastical.
Juxtaposing the spiritual and the microscopic, he creates a
universe bristling with detail and a kaleidoscope of references -
from Hiernoymos Bosch visions of heaven and hell and James Ensor's
grotesque allegories to Philip Guston. Yet, his paintings show a
highly personal world that is populated by a recurring cast of
characters. This publication is the first comprehensive overview of
his work from 2005 to the present, giving insights into his
artistic practice in different media: from painting to sculpture,
ceramics as well as drawing. The book includes essays by Olga
Tokarczuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and Cecilia
Alemani, curator of the 59. Venice Biennale, an in-depth interview
with the artist, as well as texts by philosopher Kajetan Mlynarski
and psychologist Bartlomiej Dobroczynski.
Three artists have been selected to represent Italy at the 2017
Venice Biennale: Giorgio Andreotta Calo, Roberto Cuoghi, and
Adelita Husni-Bey. They are relatively young artists, belonging to
the same generation as the curator, and have been present on the
international art scene since the year 2000. Their works speak
global languages but are closely linked to the culture of Italy,
without overlooking its current cosmopolitan aspect. Giorgio
Andreotta Calo focuses on dialogues between space and artistic
action, Roberto Cuoghi the best known of the three carries out
research into memory and time, and Adelita Husni-Bey involves the
public in artistic practices connected with history and social
issues.
