First Houston exhibition of
works by Bozena
Burzym - Chawinska, a painter and photographer based in Krakow, Poland.
The
Opening Reception for
the Artist will take place on Friday, April 19, 6: 00 - 9:00 p.m.,
at the gallery, 1740 Sunset
Boulevard, Houston, Texas, 77005.

The artist's work is
essentially concerned with the human figure, not simply as a genre or a
traditional theme, but as the symbol of her fascination with the process of
internal transformation. The quality of
pure line, very apparent in her paintings, is combined with carefully balanced
color (signature use of blues and yellows with occasional reds). In paintings
with multiple figures, some fully resolved, others transparent, it is the
disconnection, the space and distance between them, which is the most important and powerful aspect of the works.
The
new digital images - photographs of the artist's works - printed on small
squares of photographic paper, can
be arranged by the viewer in a variety of ways, thus creating installations described
by the artist as "Sentimentally Logical Puzzles". The aura of mystery and drama present in both the paintings and
the photographic installations reinforces the artist's statement of a universal truth within relationships.
