Gallery Gisela Capitain is delighted to announce its fourth solo exhibition by Polish artist Monika Sosnowska.
Sosnowska is internationally known for her architectural installations. The artist transforms familiar architectural elements into idiosyncratic and bizarre sculptures that challenge the viewer to perceive these well-known structures more attentively and sensitively. The early works often referred to the modernist architecture of her native Poland, which after the fall of the communist regime in 1989 was subject to dramatic socio-economic change with the corresponding economic effects. The field of vision has steadily expanded since then. Among other things, the artist deals with provisional, makeshift architectures from Mexico.
The latest works created for this exhibition are inspired by a trip to Bangladesh and her observations there.
