Following last year’s exhibition Tracing the Space, the work of Bożenna Biskupska will once again be presented at the Warsaw Art Fair. At this year’s edition, the In Situ Contemporary Art Foundation will present the artist’s latest works at its booth, in dialogue with selected pieces from series she has consistently developed over the years.

At the centre of the presentation will be the artist’s latest painting series, Demarcation of the Image – This and That (2025–2026), first presented at the exhibition Gabinet Możliwości Vol. 2 in Sokołowsko in May 2026. In these works, Biskupska continues her long-standing explorations in painting while simultaneously returning to the foundations of her own sculptural language. The point of departure is the figure of the One-Legged (Jednonogi) — one of the most significant and recognisable motifs in her artistic practice, present in her work for decades.

Situated between the human figure and an abstract sign, the One-Legged undergoes continuous transformation. Repeated, arranged in groups and transferred across different media, the figure becomes a vehicle for reflection on presence, individuality and collectivity, as well as the relationship between material form and the trace it leaves behind. In her latest series, Biskupska turns to wax figures, evoking an early stage of the sculptural process that precedes casting in bronze. Introduced into the pictorial space, these figures establish new arrangements and rhythms, while shifting the boundaries between painting, relief and sculptural object.

An important aspect of Biskupska’s practice is her understanding of the artwork as an open structure, subject to transformation and successive reinterpretations. Recurring motifs do not constitute a closed repertoire of forms, but rather serve as starting points for further exploration.

The presentation at the Warsaw Art Fair offers an opportunity to trace the continuity of these artistic investigations. The latest paintings will be accompanied by selected bronze works and pieces from series developed by the artist over the years. Their juxtaposition will establish a dialogue between different stages of Biskupska’s practice, revealing an ongoing process of revisiting established forms, transforming them and discovering them anew.
