Bestiarium

Today's piece of art is a part of our project "DailyArt Goes Contemporary" we run with the cooperation of Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. For the next four weeks every Tuesday and every Saturday we will show you the pieces 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. Please enjoy! Jakub Julian Ziółkowski – born 1980 in Zamosc, lives and works in Zamosc and Cracow. Painter. In his works, he creates painterly representations of the inner world. Imagination, the sub-consciousness and the ineffable play a central role in his art. The painting "Bestiary", presented in last year’s Art Biennale in Venice as part of the main exhibition Palazzo Enciclopedico, contains Ziolkowski’s typical range of motifs – grotesquely distorted fragments of human bodies, fantastical monsters and landscapes that bring to mind the famous triptych by Hieronymus Bosch, "Garden of Earthly Delights", which was featured in DailyArt couple of weeks ago. And by the way - Happy Valentine's Day :)
