Marta Pokojowczyk

Die Kunstwerke von Marta Pokojowczyk sind das Ergebnis einer Symbiose zweier Kunstrichtungen, der Weberei und der Malerei. Handgewebte Gemälde und Objekte werden vollständig auf einem Webstuhl hergestellt, danach mit der Maltechnik der Lasur bearbeitet, die aus überlappenden halbtransparenten Farbschichten besteht. Inspiration für die Herstellung von Stoffen ist die Farbperspektive in der Natur und die Horizontlinie - die Grenze des scheinbaren Kontakts zwischen Himmel und Erdoberfläche.

3D-Leinwände werden auf speziell entwickelten Kleiderbügeln aus Laser-Edelstahl angebracht. Dank räumlicher Strukturen verstärken Stoffe ihre Struktur vollständig und werden zu Objekten aus dem Bereich der kinetischen Kunst. Die Formen reagieren auf die kleinste Bewegung aus der Umgebung und verringern gleichzeitig die Distanz zwischen Betrachter und beobachtetem Objekt.
Diese stofflichen Werke sind Teil des Konzepts "The Humanism of Textiles", das sich auf die Erfahrung von handgewebten Formen durch den Menschen bezieht. Stoffe funktionieren im Raum, in dem sich der Betrachter bewegt, und wirken sich direkt auf die Qualität und Kultur seines Lebens aus.

Marta Pokojowczyk born in 1985 in Wrocław, Poland, graduated Art History at the University of Wroclaw and Painting at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Art and Design in Wroclaw. In 2014/2015 attended a transboundary program Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs in 'Helena Loermans Handwoven Textiles’ Atelier in Odemira, Portugal. Entering the discipline of weaving is the crucial point in artist’s practice which let the author to deepen the issue of the canvas as a groundwork (basis for painting). Designing 3-dimensional textile objects which interweave fine and applied arts is a transposition of the artpiece from a sphere of a pure view directly into the human environment. In 2017 Marta set up Interweave Studio - Atelier where art interlaces with craft and humanities. She is artistically connected with Wroclaw, Suprasl (Podlaskie Voivodeship) and Odemira. Scholarship holder of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland (2019).
