Villa Kindermann
The Kindermanns’ villa can be seen as the work of a woman – Eliza (née Feder) – and as a house designed with children in mind. The daughter of a well-to-do industrialist family, she married a young man from a wealthy family of factory owners, who had contributed to the development of the textile industry in Łódź.

In a dream
In the dream, are you standing in front of a wall in the gallery. You are looking at paintings, scanning their plaques. Children playing with marbles, children bathing, children at their school desks. A little violinist, a girl with a dog, a boy with balloons, a woman gardener.

Maurin
Katarzyna Karpowicz’s narrative paintings are practically begging for a literary story. Writer and literature researcher Eliza Kącka took a look at the Maurin exhibition and added stories to several selected paintings in perverse miniatures.

Oh, Bébé!
The current exhibition by Katarzyna Karpowicz in Galeria Promocyjna is entitled Ludzkie historie [“People’s stories”]. The title is very fitting, as each painting by the artist urges the viewer to guess, to build a narrative.
