Post Arcadia embodies the artist's relentless pursuit to analyze and depict the complexities of the world around her. Through constant search, doubt, and experimentation, Zuzanna Rajewska challenges the comfort zones that often hinder artistic expression. This series is a manifestation of her journey, where each canvas becomes a synesthetic blend of the music she listens to, her fears, fascinations, and keen observations of current events.
In Post Arcadia Zuzanna seamlessly weaves together elements sourced from the internet, books, recordings, and her own memories. These diverse fragments combine to form deeply personal and evocative artworks. The series, characterized by its monotone palette, was first showcased as her diploma exhibition at the Academy Of Fine Arts in Warsaw.
The paintings capture the tumultuous period when Russia invaded Crimea and the rainbow monument in Warsaw was set on fire. These significant events, alongside Zuzanna's fascination with brutalist architecture and spirituality, comes together in the series, offering a raw and introspective look into contemporary issues and personal reflections.
