· Sculptures:
Igor Mitoraj, Polish artist. His sculptures are an important part of London's landscape “Mitoraj’s latest work was extremely varied, including set and costume designs in 2012 for a production of Aida in Doha, Qatar, to the exhibition Traces of Time, held earlier this year at ContiniArt UK in London. With its disembodied heads and limbless torsos, often punctured or splintered, Traces of Time represented Mitoraj’s overriding conviction: “The idea of beauty is ambiguous, a double-edged sword that can easily hurt you, causing pain and torture. My art is an example of this dichotomy: mesmerising perfection attached to corrupted imperfection.” (the artists died in October 2014. This excerpt is from the Obituary in The Guardian) |
