Workshop

“Workshop” from the series “Borrowed Images” by Magdalena Nowatkowska presents a simple yet evocative composition. Against a uniform, dark background, there stretches

a horizontal white line, along with two elements: a smaller yellow shape and a larger one. Both deviate

from the dominant monochromaticity

of the background, injecting life into the minimalist landscape.

It's a glimpse of workshop space. Reduced to its essence, the plane hosts

a sharp tool.

 

It's a metaphor for the workplace where valuable things are created, embodying the creative process itself. The choice of colors and use

of simple forms reflect a deliberate focus on the essence, referencing the artist's workshop. It's where art emerges from seemingly simple

and unassuming elements.

 

The artwork may inspire the search for beauty in everyday life,

in ordinary objects and tools.

It celebrates the craftsmanship aspect of art and the significance

of the place where art is created.
