Selected exhibitions:
Immersed in the prose of life, in its gray and difficult everyday life, we often forget to notice, appreciate and marvel at the faithfully lasting next to us Nature, with all the richness of its constantly changing shapes, colors and moods. After a capricious frosty winter, we are looking forward to the first greens heralding more sun and warmer days. The approaching spring will bring another rebirth of nature, awakening and hope. With the bloom of new life in nature, we will feel a surge of vitality and relief for the soul.
Greens and blues have always been associated with rest. Shades of spring greenery, sprouting grass and timidly blooming post-winter flowers make us optimistic. They bring respite, a lot of joy and a lot of good to all of us.
For the March exhibition, this time we invited Artists who, like us, can draw a lot of positive energy from Nature and share with others what inspires them in their lives and work. At the exhibition, we will present works from various fields of art: oil paintings and watercolors by Jolanta Hałas, acrylic paintings by Marlena Rakoczy, drawings and oil paintings by Małgorzata Zofia Maćkowiak and Joanna Tokarczyk, and artistic fabric by Dorota Ryn-Holcer. We chose images related to the upcoming season. We are all waiting for spring. However, before we dive into the natural greenery of the outdoors and feel this spring in ourselves, we encourage and invite you to the opening of the exhibition "Immerse yourself in greens" taking place on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 5pm and seeing our spring works in the intimate RYZA Gallery located in the heart of magical Krakow on the Small Market Square.

In one of the rooms of the former restaurant, still remembered by older Cracovians, we present the works of artists associated with this place: Zbigniew Czop, Małgorzata Zofia Maćkowiak, Władysław Szyszko and Joanna Tokarczyk. Four different views on a man, and also within the works of a given artist one can see the diversity that we represent not only in the physical context, but also in the mental and the subtlest - spiritual context. A delicate woman is a frequent guest in the studios of sensitive artists who create alternative realities. Our exhibition is also a journey through techniques - from noble, slowly disappearing copperplate engraving to contemporary graphic arts and painting.
We are heterogenic and each person has a different inner man wrapped in a different packaging. There is something about self-seeking in feminine's posing in front of the mirror or looking at herself in shop windows. Even what we don't want to see and what we criticize is very meaningful. Every judgment is indicative of the message sender, of what she/he fears or desires. The standards we consider to be right, those which we accept or those that we criticize say a lot about ourselves. How much are we afraid of being excluded and what poses do we assume to fit our lives within the framework set by other people? The number of accepted standards has significantly increased in recent years. It was not without struggle and public outrage, not to mention artists themselves who often had their brushes in it. We are a colorful multitude and life offers us many opportunities.
Delicacy in dealing with personal choices is more creative than force equated to destruction. That is why a delicate woman is a frequent guest in the studios of sensitive artists who naturally create alternative realities. Feminine qualities make it easier to reach deep emotional levels and express them. It's easier and quicker for a woman to communicate that even a strong person needs to be taken care of and surrounded by tenderness. This ease in saying "hug me" has been envied by men and sometimes they assume a feminine pose in order to non-verbally express their natural need for touch.
Accepting diversity in ourselves and others allows you to be open to changes and changes invariably have been going on for centuries. This movement inspires and encourages us to notice who we are becoming.
The exhibition at the RYZA Gallery in Mały Rynek in Krakow will be open from Tuesday to Sunday 11 to 18 June 2022, 12.00-6.00p.m.

Use the "soft tone" when most of the people around us trying to convince each other: "you should vote for this party", "you have to get vaccinated" or on the contrary, don't do it ... What exactly do we want? Do we want to be right - even proven by disease or death - or do we want our own and other people's well-being?
At this exhibition, where women are painted, we talk about beauty, passions, tasty, healthy cuisine, always appropriate weather (e.g. for sleeping) and reasons to laugh.

Banksy, one of my favorite artists said "If you're tired, learn to rest, not to quit." I found his words in the book "HVILE. How the Norwegian art of laziness will save our lives" by Siw Aduvill, which inspired me to paint a picture and organize an exhibition entitled "Lofty purpose ... rest." I invite to my painting world people who have time to reflect, gently signal the need for composing oneself and regeneration. They rest guilt-free and have the power to create a healthy life.

The emotions accompanying life experiences have many colors. Every being, human or animal is a set of experiences. The way they react to images, situations, the presence of other people also talks about them. "Everyone judges according to itself" - this is an important and developing hint, if we look more closely and consciously at our own reactions than we focus on criticizing the environment. I listen, I look. Reading art is also done through our own internal prism. I have the impression that when someone says "I don't know much about art", then the person is afraid of its opinions. He or she is afraid to discover itself, his or her associations and emotions. Perhaps what was read in the picture was pain and it wasn't comfortable but ... we have to like it. We don't have to like the work of Adam Mickiewicz or Zdzisław Beksiński, even if we see their genius. I don't always paint comfortable floral compositions, although I think about it more and more often. I paint atoms, spheres, sets of points and particles. Someone saw in my painting "blisters, something burning". I wondered - what is burning? Then the thought came - jealousy. Another thought appeared - whose jealousy? Mine or the viewer's jealousy? I didn't have that intention when I was painting this picture. I didn't have it consciously but the feeling appeared in my life also, so maybe it also flashed onto the canvas. Then someone using its own pattern of experience - including jealousy - read what he or she carries inside, what was important to him or her in that moment of life. About five or six years ago I bought a large, durable, rainbow umbrella. I'm walking under it on a rainy days. The people often used to smile to me seeing these colors, just like that. now, since for some of us the rainbow began to be associated with something hostile, they sometimes tell me that I provoke. I don't provoke. I gave myself the freedom to see the colors, each one and all together. I don't expect the sun to always turn yellow at the sunrise and sunset moments... I cultivate clarity of thinking. I observe my perception of colors, shapes and events. They are a valuable guide in reading ourselves.

"The feast of warm colours - a characteristic feature of paintings by Joanna Tokarczyk that will be presented at the GOLDEN MOMENTS. Images of dreams and events exhibition presented to the wider public in the WIEZA Gallery, LIW Castle. As the title suggests the presented work constitutes the painter's personal diary that by means of the brush and oil memorize sensations and experiences, sharing with us her vision of a subjective sense of transience. The original work of young artist challenges the generally accepted model of artistic convention usually inlfuencing the viewer with existential sadness and confusion often even with downright incomprehensible ugliness or eccentricity. On Joanna's paintings we will not find shocking content affected with existential pessimism, so characteristic of the majority of contemporary artists. Therefore her work can be safely included to the niche genres of art. Although full of joy it is simultaneously a reflective art, mysterious and dreamy, bursting with baroque richness and rich in all shades of red. Despite abundance of expression, the artist skillfully maintains balance and avoids the triumph of form over substance. Warm colours and soft line bring to the mind a quote from Emerson "The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone". But the young artist can catch such moments and give them a solid form changing sand into gold." ~ Joanna Czernik-Zemanek

17th July 2009, “Realm of the warm colors”, Urban Gallery, Limanowa "At the summer’s doorstep we have occasion to appreciate a unique exhibition of Joanna Tokarczyk, the painter from Cracow. The artist will guide us in her colorful, delicate, feminine world . In the “Realm of the warm colors” we will be enchanted by the joyful, fairylike artwork – the painter’s experience rooted in the interplay of daydreaming and reality, fulfilled dreams and those that are yet to come true. The paintings like opened windows let us peep inside the artist’s fragile soul. They allow us to get closer to her internal world abundant with multi-colored, positive emotions. The world in which the symbolic of presentation is fulfilled by the symbolic of the color. The feminine realm that features warmth, love and subtle erotics. Highly personal and exceptionally diverse. Majority of paintings is presented by the artists’s favorite selection of colors i.e. a wide spectrum of beaming red, orange, gold and pastel pink. Opening buds of fiery flowers and soft subtle shapes evoke thoughts of ripening emotions and feelings. The works featuring cool coloring – infused with green, blue and violet metaphorically touches the deepest – spiritual experience. The vernissage evening will be enriched by the artist’s reflecting upon the importance of color in our everyday life, their symbolic and power of influencing our subconscious." / Dorota Ryn – Holcer.
