Sacrum Suction at the Sacroexpo 2023! Over 50 works go for auction - see the contemporary faces of religious art
The purpose of the Sacrum Auction organised for the first time in Targi Kielce, is to show the contemporary face of religious art. The offer opens with "The Last Supper" by Robert Jadczak; the artist sets the scene in a modernist tenement house with a view of New York. The next item in the catalogue - Joanna Mieszko's work referring to the apocalyptic Heavenly Jerusalem; Katarzyna Słowiańska-Kuch refers to the Flemish painting style and presents the process of a medieval altar construction. Michał Motłoch in his proprietary take on the Annunciation and Malwina de Brade in a scene featuring St. Hubert, directly drawn from Gothic miniatures.
A separate group of works in the auction - modern icons, created at international plein air painting workshops organised by the Association of Friends of Nowicy. Artists lists includes Borys Shermeta, Bogdana Kuzerovska and Małgorzata Szewczuk. The work refers to current events in the East - a fascinating icon by Boris Fiodorowicz, depicting St. George fighting a tank. A journey towards abstraction is offered in the following works: a neon composition by Izabela Kozłowska, a symbolic depicting of Light by Klaudia Krzosek, "The Mountain of Transfiguration" by Aleksander Grzybek and a cubist portrait by Eugeniusz Gerlach. Pop-art and comics depictions of Madonna and saints will be presented by Roma Jaruszewska, Beata Szustkiewicz and Battler. There is also a real treat for collectors - Salvador Dali's lithographs from the Biblia Sacra collection with the artist's handwritten signature and Jerzy Nowosielski's incographs from the limited collector's portfolios "Bogurodzica" and "Mandylion". Also items for lovers of three-dimensional forms; a golden sculpture of the Madonna by Jacek Opała, a crucifix by the excellent Jean Lambert-Rucki and a sculpture of a saint made of steel by Wit Bogusławski are also available.
