Malgorzata Chodakowska’s works satisfy a primal need for beauty, an aesthetic that is often rejected in the art scene in the name of modernity. Her figures seem as if they have fallen out of the present, they have something supra-temporal. Inspired by modern expressive dance, the artist works in wood as a model for the bronzes we exhibit. After studying art in Vienna, she has lived in Dresden since 1991 and is represented in exhibitions and collections throughout Europe.
