Outline
The Toyama Glass Art Museum is delighted to be holding the first solo exhibition in Japan by the Polish artist Marta Klonowska (b. 1964).
Klonowska finds inspiration for the subjects of her works in famous Europeans paintings from the 15th to 18th centuries, prior to the advent of photography, and in particular in the animals and shoes that appear in these masterpieces.
She produces numerous drawings as part of her close analysis of these paintings, and the sculptures she creates by making a metal skeleton and attaching to it countless shards of colored glass in a manner reminiscent of embroidery are displayed alongside ink-jet printed copies of the original paintings.
The resultant works combine a variety of elements including past and present, ideal and reality, and beauty and danger, as well as revealing the emotions that lie deep within us.
The exhibition presents a selection of works made between 2003 and the present along with some of the drawings that from the starting point of Klonowska’s practice while also introducing recent works inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e, providing an insight into the appeal of the artist’s works that have stimulated the imaginations of viewers around the world.
