Beksiński's Sculptures in a Historic Mine

In the Historic Guido Mine, as in the Wawel exhibition, we can see fourteen intriguing works by the artist.

This time in a completely different, post-industrial and somewhat dark space, the Heads and the monumental Hamlet and Macbeth gained yet another interpretive sense.

The forms of the Heads vary significantly, some are more compact, massive, others - light, openwork. Symmetrical incisions, slits of the Heads, destruction of matter intensify the viewer's impression of unease in contact with these specific portraits.

Inspired by literature "Hamlet" and "Macbeth" are different, with expressive texture of lines and gouges. Fixed on a frame of wire, put on with plaster and welded from sheet metal elements.

The deformed, bent figure of "Hamlet" makes it a partially abstract work, creating an impression of unreality of the seated figure.

In turn, the kneeling figure of ,,Macbeth" is in Beksinski's performance - a tragic, lost figure, with his hands dramatically stretched upwards.

This exhibition, a combination of art and industrial heritage of the region, offers not only the opportunity to admire the master's works, but also provides an opportunity to experience an extraordinary adventure in a space where art interacts with history.
