History of Jakub Woynarowski Gardens
27.05.2011 – 29.06.2011
Lewis Carroll took us to an unreal and picturesque Wonderland, Bruno Schulz in “The Cinnamon Shops” to a fantastic world of childhood memories….
May 27, 2011. Jakub Woynarowski – a Stalowa Wola-based designer, musician, graphic designer and artist with myriad interests – will take us to the extraordinary world of his imagination.
There are places where time flows lazily, where you can’t hear the uproar of the big city, the sounds of the street and car horns. And yet these areas are an inseparable part of urban space. Publicly useful, permanently embedded in the metropolitan landscape, meeting the recreational and social needs of local communities… Can they become a source of inspiration for the artist? The exhibition of works by Jakub Woynarowski presented in the Regional Museum in Stalowa Wola gives a clear, affirmative answer to this question.
The gray reality of allotment gardens, because it is about them, observed by the sensitive eye of Jakub Woynarowski, acquires unusual colors and meaning. The author, skilfully using the language of images, takes the viewer into a seemingly ordinary, yet extraordinary world. A world which, in the absence of man, is indivisibly ruled by objects, insects and plants.
The collection of presented works – graphics, animations and installations, is striking in its diversity. It also surprises with its color scheme, limited to three colors: extremely intense orange, deep black and white. All elements, despite the variety of forms, form a coherent whole and prove the versatility of Jakub Woynarowski’s artistic endeavors.
The exhibition invites you to enter the magical world of these unusual urban gardens – “a mysterious land, filled with the works of home-grown constructors, objects endowed with a second life, colorful houses decorated with broken glass and ceramics, and exuberant flora and fauna….”
