Today's artwork is presented in the framework of our new project "DailyArt Goes Contemporary" in cooperation with the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. Until March 11th every Tuesday and Saturday we will show you the works of contemporary Polish artists that are now displayed in "As You Can See" exhibition at MoMA Warsaw. We hope it will be a new, but pleasurable and interesting experience for you. Enjoy! Bianka Rolando is a writer, poet and visual artist – the author of drawings, installations and objects. She pursues writing and art in parallel. Her drawings on black-and-white photographs from the series Attempts at Baptism and Sunrises, 2011 (the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw) attempt to capture inexpressible and meta-linguistic experiences and phenomena.
The works are auto-thematic; for Rolando, drawing is, in the words of the artist herself, a medium with an ‘anarchic world-creative potential’. The worlds conjured by her are full of compulsively scratched out lines and blotches, fragments of illegible text or modernist ruins against a background of washed-out landscapes. Rolando’s worlds are both to be viewed and to be read. In parallel to her series Attempts at Baptism, the artist has published A Little Book about Drawing, a volume of reflections on art.
