Artists chicks

Hi,

 I' am going to show  new project called "Hens" soon. It  has to do with feminin &feminist art.
As You know painting is my main and biggest love but  I'am  interested in sculpture and art in the public space in the same time.
I especially like to create inflatable sculptures and have done many of them already ; the latest project also consist of 17 inflatable sculptures.

“Hens “is a winner project, founded by The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in Poland.

It' is  a project of a painting installation using female artists works presented on inflatable hens. 

I made imprints of  fragments of works of some well known world female artists on inflatable hens looking like inflatable toys. My idea here is to show a high level art but transferred onto a hen form because the artists are women. That approach shows the clash and contrast between art – a manifestation of high culture – and the idea of “mother hen” - a role schematically assigned to a woman  or  in the other way, could be interpreted as “artists chicks",  interesting and attractive women and artists in the same time.

I would like to show how women have changed their position in the society through the ages and also their relationship to the visual arts, from Artemisia Gentileshi to contemporary female artists.

    I' have chosen the most characteristic and strong  personalities, who I  admire as artists but also as women.

Some of selected  works are feminin, shows the pictures of kids or nature and others are  rough  and masculine,  it shows the game between feminin and feminist art.

You can see a few photos of the new project during process.
