Supported by the Instituto Polaco de Cultura, the exhibition Rhythms and Figures, by the Polish painter Natalia Załuska (1984, Kraków; lives and works between Vienna and Warsaw), has opened at the Galería Elba Benítez (Calle San Lorenzo, 11) in Madrid.
The exhibition consists of a series of large mixed media works that combine a variety of techniques (painting, collage, drawing, assemblage, wall sculpture and bas-relief) into sensually hybrid objects whose visual field could be considered a form of ‘constructed painting’. Employing a range of materials such as wood, cardboard, pigments and charcoal, the works in Rhythms and Figures exert a powerful immediate physical presence through their simultaneous, meticulously orchestrated yet delicately executed explorations of colour, volume and line.
