Gosia
Toronto-based artist Gosia makes immensely beautiful sculptural portraits of female characters with a pioneering and experimental approach to glazing and painting techniques. Her textures, patterns and tones add an other-worldly quality to her depictions of women which are arranged in thoughtful poses, often presented as bold and at other times vulnerable. Gosia states that she sees these sculptures as an encapsulation of moments of deep contemplation which are usually experienced privately. The gestures expressions and gazes in her pieces are utilized to demonstrate inner turmoil which is at odds with the seeming stillness of the piece which is evident at first glance.
