Ursula Sokolowska - Multiples

Chicago-based, Polish-born artist Ursula Sokolowska’s work has always had a quiet drama and grit. She has been celebrated for drawing things out of the darkness and has made low-light cityscapes, intimate portraits, and painful, personal work on family relationships. Diverse yet aligned are her subjects; like most artists and thinkers Ursula Sokolowska aims to study herself, her relationships, her world… her reality.

In pursuit of this, Sokolowska has begun a new body of work, Multiples. These photographs layer film and digital files. “My focus is to construct a fiction around the deliberate act of remembering,” says Sokolowska. These images are both graphic and painterly. They feel both believable and impossible, clear and confusing. Layered sections of reality materialize and are interrupted, yet we accept this partial information. Our eye seams together broken fragments, somehow it finds them shards of “reality” more complete not less. There is an accuracy in their grappling, and honesty in admitting the incomplete fugitive nature of memory.
