POLISH MASTER PAINTER MICHAL ZABOROWSKI TO BE FEATURED IN SOLO
EXHIBITION AT NEVIN KELLY GALLERY
Show runs October 11, 2007 through November 4; Opening Reception with
the Artist, Thursday, October 11 from 6 until 9 pm.
New paintings by award winning Polish artist Michal Zaborowski will be
featured in a solo exhibition at the Nevin Kelly Gallery, 1517 U
Street, NW, in Washington, DC. The exhibition, titled "H20" will
depict ordinary people in everyday activities associated with water.
Gallery owner Nevin J. Kelly describes Zaborowski as "a romantic
impressionist with a contemporary voice; Zaborowski is one of the most
talented painters working in Poland today." The artist's paintings
depict what Kelly calls the "nobility of the mundane." He paints
ordinary people in ordinary activities, but he gives them such heroic
import that one is compelled to look at them. He finds such beauty in
these ordinary events-a man and a dog in a boat, or a woman with a toy
balloon - that we wish we could trade places with them. The artist's
palette is subdued. There is a mixture of beauty and a gnawing sense
of melancholy in his paintings, a combination so common in our
everyday lives that we almost fail to notice it. Zaborowski reminds
us that, even in moments of personal darkness, a moment of sublime
beauty is just around the corner.
The artist began his career as a painter of church interiors, working
in fresco. In 1986, he was awarded a scholarship of the General of
the Palatine Order, which permitted him to work and study in Rome and
at the Vatican. He has exhibited in Poland, Germany, Austria, The
Netherlands, Luxembourg, Monaco and the U.S (including New York, Palm
Beach, Santa Fe, Washington, DC, Aspen and Vail). Zaborowski lives and
works in Warsaw, Poland
H2O will be on view in the gallery from October 11 until November 4,
2007. The opening reception is on Thursday, October 11, from 6 until 9
o 'clock p.m. The artist will travel from Poland to attend.
