Malum Regem - Resin Sculpture 40 cm / 25 / 20 cm
This fascinating resin sculpture by artist Krzysztof Plonka embodies the human existence in all its complexity and tragedy. With its brutalist, archaic formal language, it expresses the suffering that has accompanied humanity since the dawn of time.
The powerful, monolithic figure seems to be a manifestation of ancient, cosmic forces. Its angular, primitive form inevitably evokes associations with Neolithic idols and totems - the expression of an era when man was still directly at the mercy of nature.
At the same time, this sculpture radiates a fascinating ambivalence. Beneath the surface of the raw, archaic forms, one senses an inner dynamism, an energy that touches the very foundations of human existence. The face, oscillating between mask and human countenance, appears marked by suffering, pain and despair - and yet also by a breath of transcendence.
Indeed, Malum Regem can be interpreted as a kind of "mirror of the soul" that reflects the full range of human experience. From the primordial struggle for survival to the existential hardships of the present day - all this finds expression in this sculpture. And yet its impressive presence also points to the possibility of overcoming suffering, of rising to a sphere beyond the profane.
Thus, this resin sculpture unfolds a fascinating tension between archaism and modernity, between immanence and transcendence. It challenges the viewer to reflect on the abysses and agonies of human existence - and at the same time to discover the moments of sublimity and redemption that lie hidden within it.
