”I am interested in creating bridges of communication permitting
past and present appear in unity; and with hope that the dialogue in time
and space continues in order for new configurations to be found.” – Xawery Wolski
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.”
Xawery Wolski was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1960 and currently lives and works between his studios in Poland and Mexico. 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, the United States, and Europe. Wolski returned to Poland in 2021 to create an Art Foundation in his family estate in Dańków.
