About the Item
Jolanta Johnsson, experienced Polish artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PhD of fine arts, university teacher. She currently lives in Sweden.
This is how she writes about the drawing:
Black and white are the most distantly related colors; in fact, they are not colors at all. They represent the extremes of the color spectrum. Black and white are often used to symbolize opposites, with white being the absence of black and vice versa. This particular black and white figurative drawing also carries an enigmatic title. What could black and white possibly signify? If one were to interpret black and white, it would suggest a radical situation with only two possible outcomes.
This figurative drawing portrays a man and a woman, seated closely together, yet seemingly reluctant to be in such proximity. Their bodies are facing each other. But they are looking at each other, turning their heads towards each other. This scenario is ambiguous, leaving the outcome uncertain. However, there is potential in this juxtaposition of two mature individuals. I have faith that this black and white situation will evolve into a series of events that can be depicted in various shades of soft gray.

- OdalisqueBy Jolanta JohnssonLocated in Boxholm, SEJolanta Johnsson, experienced Polish artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PhD of fine arts, university teacher. She currently lives in Sweden. This is how she writes about the drawing: In my intimate drawings, I capture what is closest to me – the private moments that I would hardly want to reveal. And yet, I choose to share them with my audience. The motif of the odalisque, a reclining woman, has long been a popular subject in art. Throughout history, numerous artists have embraced this theme, and some of their paintings depicting reclining women have become iconic, shaping the course of art in their respective eras. Art historians have extensively written about the influence of these works. Notably, the odalisques created by the French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, such as his renowned piece “La Grande Odalisque...Category
