Bend April 9-May 7, 2022

Pui Tiffany Chow and Julie Sadowski in collaboration with Paweł Żukowski

present “Bend”, an exhibition at Phase gallery, Los Angeles.

Julie Sadowski is a Polish-American artist living between Los Angeles and Warsaw. At Phase Gallery she presents photographs alongside works in collaboration with Paweł Żukowski, Polish artist and activist. Together they have translated, then stenciled excerpts of several feminist Polish songs onto fabric swatches. Julie will also present a series of collages and photographs of women’s shoes previously used by her mother for the ladies apparel business.

Pui Tiffany Chow presents a series of recent paintings that teeter between figuration and abstraction, referencing art historical representations of the female form in various erotic poses of shame. Pui stages these classical forms, like the Venus, as narrative vehicles to house discrete moments of abstraction in a plural array of stroke, color and style. Pui lives and works in Los Angeles.

Paweł Żukowski is an artist and activist, born and raised in Warsaw, Poland. Graduate of Abakanowicz Art University in Poznań. He works with text, recycled materials and found objects, mixing them together in collage-objects. He is a current artist in residence at the Tom of Finland Foundation.
