Róża Litwa
untitled
FSP ING 0094
A few brushstrokes suffice for the artist to outline the human form—broken, split in half, the torso occasionally separated from the remaining parts of the body, or showing traces suggesting a fiery cupping. The figure is shown exercising and taking care of the body, or could it be rejecting an unwanted part? Róża Litwa’s paintings are frequently based on specific stories or events. In this case, the piece may be an account of spine problems the artist suffered from in the past. Litwa explores her typical themes of relations with the self, one’s own body, emotions, and the world.
