Description of Magdalena Abakanowicz artwork: Abakans
Magdalena Abakanowicz was born in 1930 in
Falenty near Warsaw, where she lived and worked all throughout her years. She
is one of Polan ’s most renowned artist, and well known for her works in the
use of textiles. She studied at the
Warsaw Academy of Fine arts, and Magdalena Abakanowicz paintings interest grew
as she started her hands here producing tactless results on Canvas and cardboard.
One of her first major independent work was
the “Abakans’, it was based on using textile as a medium to make the art. As an
artist, her keen interest has always been with the texture of matter, mainly
with the organic nature of her medium of choice. The work of Abakans was
shocking as was made with multiple organic nature along with dyed sisal fibre.
This work shad been drooped from the ceiling, wrapped as unidentified monsters
in a canvas cloth. The traditions of flat surfaces of decorative were broken by
the artist.
Abakans was one such work admired for the
artist consistency and ingenuity inspite of its criticism, and got its way into
International Museums. At the 1964 International Biennial Tapestry, the work
was highly praised and delighted many viewers and crutics thereby earning her
gold medal at the 1967 Sao Paulo Biennial.
Her work shows the approach of
possibilities of manipulating the medium. Though, she got an advantage of its
submissiveness and softness, yet the huge circular
sheets take on an animalistic form under the artist's touch.
Her later
series was seen to be made from pieces of sack cloth which she sewed and
stiched together, blending it with synthetic resin. A man has always been the
basic reference of her work. This is reflected in her sculptural works of the
80s and 90s, where she used materials like metal, stone, clay and wood. She was
more fond of sculptural works, Magdalena Abakanowicz
paintings were only done during her time when she was at the arts institute.
