Polish-Canadian artist Magda Zak announces details of her first Irish solo exhibition ‘Zemsta’. Taking its title from the Polish word for “revenge”, Magda Zak’s collection leap-frogs from captivating portraits through expert life drawings to evocative abstracts, showing the depth, breadth and skill of this remarkable emerging artist.
‘Zemsta’ – A new exhibition of paintings by Magda Zak
Date: March 22nd, 2014.
Location: Cobalt Café, 16 North Great George’s Street, Dublin 1 @ 7pmPolish-born, Toronto-raised Magda moved to Dublin in 2013 to work full-time as an artist, having fallen for the city during a visit here five years ago. Living in Temple Bar and with a studio in Christchurch, she has immersed herself in her surroundings in preparation for this, her first major Irish exhibition.
Magda won the first-ever scholarship to the prestigious Academy of Realist Art in Toronto, but until that point she was self-taught and proudly uninhibited by formal training. Her art walks a path of its own, but nonetheless shows scrupulous attention to detail and skill, from painstakingly detailed portraiture to dreamy abstracts. Zemsta is a mosaic of Magda’s work from the past four years, on display in Ireland for the first time.
Magda has exhibited in a number of small galleries in Toronto. Her abstract piece ‘Wind’ appears on the cover of Dublin band The Pale’s 2011 album, I Woke Up and I Was Gone. She acted as art director for the forthcoming Canadian film La Beau Risque, which also features her work.
