Maya Frodeman Gallery is pleased to present, Metamorphosis, a solo exhibition with artist Xawery Wolski on view at the gallery's downtown location from June 14th through July 28th, 2024. An opening reception will be held Friday, June 14th from 5-8pm. All are welcome to attend.
Xawery Wolski's art is a demonstration of connectivity and communication. Growing up in Poland during the Communist Party’s occupation, the artist inherited an atmosphere of both regression and rebellion. From his restricted life as a youth, Xawery has become dedicated to the pursuit of freedom, especially for the artist. “Knowing that we are all alike…we have a desire for freedom, happiness….we fear disease, bad luck, death…and finally, no matter which cultural, social, or moral patterns we know, we look for communication.” Wolski was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1960 and currently lives and works between his studios in Poland and Mexico City. He was educated at the Academy of Fine Arts (Warsaw), the Academy of Fine Art (Paris), and the Institue of Higher Education in Visual Arts (Paris). Wolski was awarded the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant in 2007. The artist has exhibited his work in countries throughout the world and has been awarded residencies in Asia, South America, Mexico, the United States, and Europe. As he travels, he continues to collect the natural products of each country as inspiration for his art.
