Transitions. Magdalena Karwowska & Ula Gogol
The "Transitions" Exhibition is a meeting of two artistic worlds: the painting of Magdalena Karwowska and the sculpture of Ula Gogol. Their works speak of transitions—through form, through emotion, through space.
Magdalena Karwowska’s vividly colorful paintings are rooted in the pop-art style. Her latest series focuses on depictions of people visiting art galleries—observers who themselves become part of the exhibition. Two juxtaposed scenes form a diptych, engaging in a dialogue with one another. This form becomes a perfect metaphor for transition: from one side to the other, from one frame to the next, from observing to being observed.
Ula Gogol’s sculptures are abstract in form. Their intense colors are meant to reflect emotion. The artist’s new series is particularly connected with the idea of fragments and pieces. Each work becomes a reflection of another—a segment or shadow of one piece transforms into a new, independent form. Inspired by the words of William James: "Our inner life has a shifting, transitional nature, and all life experiences lie precisely in transformation," Ula Gogol’s sculptures aim to embody this constant change.
