TO SCULPT THE STONE the hands female that gives form and soul to the stone [Page - Bozena Krol Legowska - 1Ko - 2008]

The uncanny eye half open to Bozena Krol Legowska. Sculpting stone means "remove" with the method, smoothing after smoothing the lumps of raw material surplus, surplus, disappear in hand to hand, leaving the smooth faces, the curved shape. That malaise is so dear to Rimbaud, Poe, those pens infused with trepidation for restless unconscious fears and now closer to the surreal Bozena. First were the paintings on glass in the Polish tradition, fine à plat, with no prospect figured that in the stand of the human being, male or female, exhibited the usual evidence of an eye, sort of amazed, incredulous dismay. Awe transmitting a kind of big question mark. A question about the ongoing question of "who we are? "Shoot cells of an infinite astronomical (another issue dear to the period Polish of Bozena, ringing informel). Then the mercy Bottega Molise, falling in love for the stony matter: its making sculpture in the round. The stone, the exceptions of alabaster before, then the Carrara marble and travertine with the arrival in Maremma. Hear her speak of the veins of marble, travertine colored streaks, that choose to see the caves and crude sense the final outcome, you already understand the sculptor who is in her. Which is in its being a skillful manipulator of inanimate matter to give it that vibration vitalistic, filled with references to a narrative of congealed sensitivity, perhaps related to the death, perhaps the pain. Surely at that boundary between the two occurrences, the margin of troubled intimate feel a vague fear, a dense fragrance that Mephistopheles, in the stillness of metaphysics represented, the result that his skilled hands have been able to see first, then draw out from imperturbability whiteness of marble. A solemn sacredness have its faces, torsos its clotted sensuality. His violins are enigmatic ("Paganini" is called the eye as a prelude to a treble clef); mystery that leave some lumps of raw matter, as a contrasting good and evil more clearly visible in the duality of existence in nature and artifact , between chaos and perfection, a reminder of the biblical geotian memory. And if Mitoraj, another great Polish sculptor in the nearby Versilia, creates surreal opening drawers from the torsos of the legendary Apollo, Bozena reflected the concern, the metaphysical mystery of the threshold between pain and death, through that wide open or ajar 's eye, ever watchful and window on the dormant human perpetration of witchcraft in the world. Or again, in that "fair" and personal to fiddle of hair, hands, the perfect, perfectly smooth round faces, raising the inner sublime weightlessness, the unbearable "lightness of being."

Bozena Krol Legowska an artist sculptress, painter of origins Poles, from years lives and works in Tuscany. Daughter of art. The preferred material for his sculptural works is the statuary marble of Carrara, she often chooses also the white travertino or alabaster, all these materials exalt the elegance, purity and nobility of the forms that the artist frees carving with own hands. For the painting she has chosen the glass as support that she paints from behind, it is a technique to "upside-down" that asks for so much precision and ability. "There is a biblical mystery that pervades her to seek, in the form, the sublime peak of the sacred-mephistophelian. Beautiful, above all good..." Giorgio Brizio Personal website: http://www.scultrice.it/   Been born to Zakopane - Poland, a town situated to the slopes of the Tatra Mountains. Daughter of art, her father known sculptor of the wood, of the beaten iron and also poet state for her first teacher, attends subsequently the school of art where she achieves the diploma with the specialization in planning and realization of artistic fabrics, in the years to follow she also achieves a specialization in advertising techniques and marketing. From the end of the years '90 are devoted to the painting on glass, a primitive typical technique of the region from which it originates; the artist has undertaken her to be able then to propose her in a contemporary style. In her mind the idea and the desire it often applied to challenge the stone trying to rouse inside this hard subject hidden sinuous and spontaneous forms and freed by the hands of a woman, in 2001 during one of her trips to Italy this idea is transformed in reality and it is initiated so its incessant comparison with the sculpture. From 2003 Bozena Krol Legowska alive and works in Tuscany. [Biography - Bozena Krol Legowska - 3Ko]
