An exhibition exclusively showcasing Trojanowski’s most recent works, ‘From Sarmatia to Star’. Serves an insight into the artists ongoing interest in the Hermetic foundations of Polish culture – where his family’s heritage lies – whilst at the same time also serving as a playground for the artist to reveal his instinctual imaginings in the form of painting and sculpture.

Presenting itself as an imagined narrative, ‘From Sarmatia to Star’ sets out to become a visceral exploration of Trojanowski’s fascination with Polish helardric symbols and their history that have informed his take on occultural knowledge and experience. In response to his findings, and drawing upon alchemical symbolism the artist employs a playful, emotionally charged and responsive approach to creating new meanings and possible futures through characters and scenes that flaunt the ways in which narratives can be formed and reinterpreted.

Directly acknowledging the space in which it is to be shown, ‘From Sarmatia to Star’ confronts its viewers with a central display of sculptural figures that respond precisely to the paintings that hang alongside them – together they are married, liberated by their symbols and signs. At the heart of the exhibition is a world in flux, swaying between the real and the surreal in which deeper, more enlightening meanings are carried.

Thom Trojanowski is an artist based in the U.K. He is currently developing his practise at Asylum Studios which is situated on the old American air base, Bentwaters in Suffolk. Since graduating from UAL Wimbledon he has exhibited internationally, participated in residencies and was included in The John Moores Painting Prize 2016.

‘From Sarmatia to Star’ will open with a private view on August the 16th from 6pm and runs until the 1st of September.
