Radka Bodzewicz: Reverie: Open now at Caesar Gallery, Olomouc

30 April - 30 May 2024 

Radka Bodzewicz's compositions draw you into a poetic and inspiring world.These are definitely not paintings for a cursory glance, but for long-term contemplation. The artist transforms real experiences with her own narrative, creating stories (almost mystical for the viewer) that can be a mirror of society by the example of one individual's thinking.

 

This is clearly a need to verbalize the microworld with the possible ambition to make it a macroworld. What, in fact, should be the essence of art? To explode and influence the world around us. Very interesting is the author's way of denying individual perspective plans. The technique, known since the Renaissance, allows the artist greater freedom from classical perspective and a better formulation of the artistic outline. This strategy will allow her works, unlike other artists, to avoid being anchored in time, with the possibility of her works becoming timeless and in a way carrying a universal message. At the same time, what is likeable about her work is that her compositions are not verbose and do not need commentary. She approaches her paintings in such a way that she actually creates her own legends and stories.

Radka Bodzewicz's work is virtually incomparable to anything on the domestic scene and is almost musically poetic, literary inspiring and aesthetically pure. In recent years, the artist has also profiled herself as an interesting experimenter who incorporates augmented reality into her work, allowing her to combine classical painting, sculpture and new technologies into a perfect whole.
