Halina Marki and Winicjusz Lysik “Brooklyn”
Soapbox Gallery
This event has ended.
Soapbox Gallery presents recent paintings and sculpture by Brooklyn-based artists Halina Marki and Winicjusz Lysik. Focusing on the unspoken interconnectedness that links all human beings, they reflect on the constantly evolving rhythm of human life, and on Man’s place within a powerful and sometimes abrupt nature.
Using repetition of shapes, patterns, letters and numbers, they question the relationship between nature and culture, organism and construction, symbolism and reality. In BROOKLYN, they particularly concentrate on translating the crisscrossing of people and cultures from all around the world – just as it is in our city of multitudes – into a visual vocabulary.
The artists have been working together for more than 30 years, collaborating on certain paintings (one of which will be exhibited at Soapbox Gallery) as well as working side by side on their own pieces. In this exhibition, Halina Marki presents large-scale canvases that hold layers of geometric shapes and patterns, expressing a certain sense of order within the chaos of our existence. In his smaller formats, Winicjusz Lysik juxtaposes desolate landscapes with letters from a wide array of alphabets, introducing the human touch into the natural order into which humans evolve.
