Kinsey/DesForges welcomes Polish/German artist Angelika J. Trojnarski
for her debut solo exhibition in the United States. Both her oil on
canvas and mixed media works will be on exhibit.
Given their subdued palette, painterly handling of oils and assemblage
of semi-finished and deconstructed imagery culled from an agitated
sub-conscious, Trojnarski's mainly large paintings on canvas hearken
back to the advent of modernism. Born in Poland and educated in
Germany, it is not surprising that echoes of post-war trauma are
reflected in her work, given the haunting legacy the last world war
bequeathed these nations. Abandoned death camps and fire stormed cities
do not figure directly as the subject matter of her paintings, but the
indelible mark they left upon the European landscape runs through the
scenarios she depicts. Trojnarski reminds us wars continue to rage on
in the world, "We wear Cain's mark on our forehead. Atrocity has so
become our companion we don't recognize it—even when it is standing
right before us and unmasking itself."
