The 'Private Circus' exhibition by Magdalena Latosiewicz showcases over 20 recent acrylic paintings. The works are characterized by vibrant colors, diverse themes, a fairytale-like atmosphere, and exaggerated figures, creating a colorful 'circus mix'. The exhibition presents a satirical view of reality, inviting viewers into a surreal world.
The 'Private Circus' exhibition, held in March 2015, featured over 20 recent acrylic works by artist Magdalena Latosiewicz. The collection is defined by its lively color palette, a wide range of subjects, and an almost fairytale-like ambiance, often featuring exaggerated characterizations that contribute to a noticeable 'circus mix'. The art presents a world where the impossible becomes reality, with imagery such as a goat on a unicycle or a humanized rabbit fan of tobacco. Everyday life is depicted as a circus arena, allowing for various roles to be played depending on circumstances, with elements like fish flying through the sky or a marriage represented as a tango between a King and Queen of cards. Latosiewicz uses acrylics on canvas to place fragments of life and specific situations onto the canvas in an original way. The exhibition offers a surreal journey into the art of living, handling daily challenges with irony and mockery. Latosiewicz draws inspiration from her surroundings, with recurring motifs including women, fairytales, skulls, and dolls, from which she constructs intimate, titular 'Private Circus' performances, often focusing on studies of female personalities. The overall effect is a sweet-bitter, candy-like taste for the observer. The exhibition was intended to be viewed by both existing fans of Latosiewicz's painting and those new to her work.
Information regarding tickets and admission is available on the museum's 'Visit' section, under 'Tickets'. The exhibition was located on the 4th floor of the Olympic Center building.
