Opening A GLASS SHARD IN THE EYE, BWA Warszawa, September 26, 2014

Show project description

BWA Warszawa invites you to the exhibition by

NICOLAS GROSPIERRE, OLGA MOKRZYCKA-GROSPIERRE

A Glass Shard in the Eye

Friday, 26.09.2014, 5 p.m.

Exhibition is open till 08.11.2014

Wednesday – Saturday 3 p.m. – 7 p.m.

The centerpiece of the exhibition is a crystal – a mineral of fascinating qualities, of sensual beauty and geometric precision. The crystal not only attracts the eye as an object of beauty, but it also facilitates seeing itself as a material often used in optical equipment (such as cameras). At the same time it maintains its mystery, with its complex structure of mirrors reflecting infinitely.

The Grospierres translate this complexity into the language of visual arts. In Olga’s paintings it appears both as a theme and as a medium. The seemingly abstract canvases show real crystals created using a special pigment containing microscopic crystals.

Nicolas builds upon Olga’s canvases in creating an installation that sets optical equipment among her works.
