Xawery Wolski
Lux Art Institute 1550 S. El Camino Real, Encinitas, California 92024
Xawery Wolski was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1960 and currently lives and works in Mexico City. Educated both stateside and abroad, Wolski’s work has been exhibited internationally and is included in the permanent collections of Fonds National d’Art Contemporain (Paris, France), National Library of France (Paris), Mordena Museet (Stockholm, Sweeden), and Museo Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, among others. PROCESS The process of making a dress, a common sculptural form within Wolski’s work, is long and laborious, as it involves the meditative component of constructing beads— a deliberate and patient repetition that starts from nothing and becomes boundless. Each piece is hand-constructed, fired, and then meticulously painted, all strung together by sturdy thread to create a sculptural piece in the shape of a dress.
