Gosia‘s captivating figurative sculptures are displayed in her first solo European show with “The Windows of the Soul” at Dorothy Circus Gallery in London. We recently wrote about the artist in a multi-page feature in Hi-Fructose Vol. 41, and she was last featured on HiFructose.com here. This show kicks off May 5 and runs through June 30.
“The title is inspired by the old proverb ‘the eyes are the windows of the soul’ and reflects the artist’s interest in the duality of one’s personality, one visible to everyone, the other vast and deep into one’s consciousness both entwined by a mystical spark,” a statement on her new work says says. “Her art is rooted in a need to process the world, society and life’s experiences and her sculptures are a vivid statement of the artist’s research into what connects us with the veil that separates us from the spirit realms.”

Kara Walker's recent Hyundai Commission is a 45-foot-high fountain at Tate Modern, exploring the historical tether between Africa, America and Europe with inspiration from the Victoria Memorial in London. Water, Tate says, has its own significance in the work, “referring to the transatlantic slave trade and the ambitions, fates and tragedies of people from these three continents.” The title of the work: “Fons Americanus.”
