Booom! And there you have it, our delicious Strawberry Smoothie. As usual, Darius Gwizdala’s latest exhibition takes us into a world of overflowing and overstimulated imagery. Operating with choruses, butterflies and hyper-rococo strokes, the artist is back with his typically vivid and unashamedly sweet works. In this exhibition, Gwizdala brings together the characteristic components of his different micro-era. She blends the dry flowers of the at once arresting yet awe-inspiring Choro period with the lightness of a smoothie in her latest butterfly compositions. In the spirit of spring, the artist evokes the renewed effervescence of the flora and fauna of secluded wildflower fields, their swirling movements and indulgent clouds of fragrance. Through the sculptures, drawings and paintings on show, we gain an insight into Gwizdala’s ‘natural-synthetic’ meth(a) laboratory.
