In Daybreak

In Daybreak, a new series by Natalia Załuska, her distinctive abstraction-based language remains unmistakable. Geometric forms continue to serve as key points of reference, engaging in a dialogue with abstract avant-garde traditions, evoking the rhythmic compositions of Maria Jarema, the sculptural-architectural investigations of Alina Ślesińska, and the works on paper or monument studies by Magdalena Więcek.

What distinguishes this new series is its close relationship with light — as though the morning sun had quietly slipped into the studio. Załuska set out to translate the performative play of shadow and colour — not only from her home, but from the solitary walks and drives to her workspace. The works were eventually given titles such as 5 a.m., 6 a.m., Early Morning, as well as Midday 1, Midday 2, and Afternoon — each defining a different moment spent in the studio.
