CONTEMPORARY MODELS OF REALISM
MOCAK, KRAKOW
MAY 12, 2020 – JUNE 18, 2021

BY ALTERING REALISTIC IMAGES – REARRANGING OR DEFORMING FIGURES, SOFTENING OR BRUTALISING DETAILS, EXAGERRATING OR MANIPULATING EXPRESSIONS, USING ARTIFICAL OR UNNATURAL COLOURS, ETC – ARTISTS CAN CHANGE THE WAY WE INTERPRET REALITY, COMMENT ON THE PERCEIVED RATIONALE OF EXISTENCE, CAPTURE THE POLITICAL OR CULTURAL MOOD OF AN ERA, CONVEY THEIR DREAMS OR ILLUMINATE HYPOCRISIES. THE WORKS DISPLAYED IN THIS EXHIBITION DO JUST THAT: EMPLOY REALISTIC LANGUAGE TO CONFRONT EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS IN TODAY’S WORLD.
