In Magda Kirk’s fantasy, like the characters of gods, dominate a cross-two-dimensional world that includes emotions, self-consciousness and infinite possibilities. They see without any concealment in the blessed Reverie state of surrender, stretch, bend or do nothing. In this field, fuchsia, purple and gold tones emanate from her interior and without her themes, spreading delicious warm blankets throughout the canvas. These terrifying large bodies are always exposed, tattooed, occasionally furry, and may instantly smash us, but their kind appearance indicates that they are likely to want to hug. With pink hair and courageous traits, they are a harmonious celebration of the power of both men and women. Although these gentle giants are strong and seemingly impenetrable, they also have gentle sensitivity, which shows the multifaceted nature of human beings.
According to Polish artist Kirk, her main focus is on body image. How we are obsessed with, compare and connect. However, people feel that these paintings are much deeper than merely viewing the body and how we characterize ourselves. Kirk waves her unusual forms in a way that makes us really consider what this subject means to us, and our notion of perfect forms does not necessarily stem from the earthly, material compass, but from an inner attitude. Using dramatic extraordinary characters to illustrate this, she takes the concept of body image to the next level. They are indeed empowering them, because their sublime forms ignore limitations and inspire self-accepted exploration. We use the power within ourselves to think about these unlikely creatures that are us. “It’s certainly a conflict between having a body and having one. It’s always my obsession, and it’s my favorite subject to explore,” she said.
These unusual images are inspired by the decorations of male and female models, bodybuilders and even fictional characters (such as superheroes), idol physiques, images with images of superheroes (superheroes) greater than lifespan all have a cultural impact on our individual identities. Kirk loves playing with the idea, and the possibility of critical self-awareness that we ordinary people tend to carry around. She uses a bag of humor, horror, beauty, monsters, tenderness and aggressiveness to challenge the complex relationship between the body as a subject and object. She also deliberately avoids the portrayal of her face to make her character more ambiguous. “The bodies at my work have no identity. For me, they are characters full of life, emotions and experience. I try to express their personality in ways other than facial expressions – through movement, body shape, tattoos and colors.”
Through aspects of popular culture such as tattoos, grunge doodles and cartoons, Kirk likes to extract iconic patterns and symbols to enhance the expression of her body. “The tattoos in my work are not direct symbolic, but their overall shape and meaning have a specific expression,” she said. These ink smears overlap with the outline of the plump pink flesh in an obsessive-compulsive way. Their images are often exhilarated by friendly cartoon characters, such as grinning kittens and jumping unicorns. There is, however, a mysterious nature throughout the process, giving these fleshy decorations a slightly demented atmosphere, like the chaos, human nature itself, which blends a fusion of giggles, chaos, elation, and pain.
To be sure, there is one The conflict between possession of the body and existence one. It’s always my obsession, My favorite topics to explore. ”
