Olga Milczynska
“Combining the old with new, the found with the made, the unwanted with the re-created, the natural with the produced makes up my artistic language.”
Artist’s Studio pictures: Marta Pruska.
The latest body of work by Milczynska, The Kunstkamera Collection, exclusively presented at Frederika Galerie, was born out of reflection on mass tourism, destruction of the environment and landscape as an idea.
Biomorphic vases and sculptures were made of stoneware and covered with glaze, often several times for the right effect.
