Embody
Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles is proud to present Embody, a three-person exhibition showcasing diverse approaches to relating to memories of the past in the present. The exhibition features a curated selection of works by Polish artists Patrycja Kurus-Ros艂oniec, Karolina Lizurej, and Karolina Majewska Freeing. These artists create visual representations that articulate their individual statements, stories, and ideas, offering unique reflections on the past.
Karolina Majewska Freeing鈥檚 works act as metaphors for the tumultuous events spanning 2020 to 2022, highlighting the vulnerability of the human form. She crafts intimate, flawed sculptural self-portraits that, in their fragmented and fragile state, evoke a sense of bodily violation. Simultaneously, the act of casting her own form provides Majewska Freeing with the opportunity for introspection and acceptance of her physical mortality.
Karolina Lizurej delves into the complex collective memory surrounding the Warsaw Uprising in German-occupied Warsaw鈥攁 period marked by both heroism and tragedy. Her work captures the duality of grand historical narratives and intimate personal stories. Lizurej employs the medium of embroidered drawings, drawing inspiration from vintage photographs. The forms within her compositions are in a state of perpetual flux, materializing only to dissolve again. These elusive shapes never fully reveal themselves, lingering instead in a blurred state, much like the ephemeral traces of memory.
Patrycja Kurus-Ros艂oniec engages deeply with the indelible imprints that past events can leave on one鈥檚 current reality. She explores the emotional landscape marked by anxiety and inertia, capturing the sense of helplessness and abandonment that can ensue. Through the lens of her own experiences, which she openly shares, Kurus-Ros艂oniec shines a spotlight on the often-overlooked and concealed mental struggles that individuals may grapple with in society.
