Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Paulina Olowska reveals the true nature of a gallery as a travel bureau, where works of art are portals into myriad destinations imagined by artists. Her installation of works from the Christen Sveaas Art Foundation is inspired by Orbis, the largest and longest running travel agency in Poland. Founded in 1920, its offices, staff and famously alluring posters offered prospective travellers a dream of escape. Olowska thinks of painting as "a beautiful metaphor for travel itself, a longing for a place." Olowska's multifaceted practice embraces all the arts from painting to graphics, stage and costume design, performance and activism. Her monumental figurative paintings celebrate modern women pictured in magazine style poses against backdrops of utopian scenarios.
