July 2009, Limanowa
17th July 2009, “Realm of the warm colors”, Urban Gallery, Limanowa "At the summer’s doorstep we have occasion to appreciate a unique exhibition of Joanna Tokarczyk, the painter from Cracow. The artist will guide us in her colorful, delicate, feminine world . In the “Realm of the warm colors” we will be enchanted by the joyful, fairylike artwork – the painter’s experience rooted in the interplay of daydreaming and reality, fulfilled dreams and those that are yet to come true. The paintings like opened windows let us peep inside the artist’s fragile soul. They allow us to get closer to her internal world abundant with multi-colored, positive emotions. The world in which the symbolic of presentation is fulfilled by the symbolic of the color. The feminine realm that features warmth, love and subtle erotics. Highly personal and exceptionally diverse. Majority of paintings is presented by the artists’s favorite selection of colors i.e. a wide spectrum of beaming red, orange, gold and pastel pink. Opening buds of fiery flowers and soft subtle shapes evoke thoughts of ripening emotions and feelings. The works featuring cool coloring – infused with green, blue and violet metaphorically touches the deepest – spiritual experience. The vernissage evening will be enriched by the artist’s reflecting upon the importance of color in our everyday life, their symbolic and power of influencing our subconscious." /Dorota Ryn – Holcer
