Kinsey/DesForgesEVENT

> DESCRIPTION
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." |
