Join artist Basia Krol for art, conversation, wine, and southern appetizers at the opening reception for her solo show this Wednesday, January 12th, from 6:30-9pm at Wishbone Restaurant, 3300 N. Lincoln Ave.
As an artist I always explore and change. I paint various subjects in different styles. I go where art takes me. But wherever I go for inspiration I find myself always coming back to nature, to organic forms, landscapes, plants or cellular forms.
In alphabet 24 or so letters create the endless abundance of languages. In nature 5 or so patterns create everything we see, make blueprints for things to grow by. In the city it is easy to forget all about it. I treasure gardens and parks and weeds just as well.
For the show at wishbone I chose some of my nature paintings painted over past 5 years. All of them are oil paintings on canvas or linen. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Basia Krol creates paintings that are both beautiful and unsettling. Her artwork often deals with family issues, the magic world of childhood and intertwining paths of love, life and science.
