Kraków wesoły (2023) Sculpture by Alex Johanson

Alex Johanson is a contemporary Polish artist. Fascinated by Polish landscape, folklore and history he creates his original and unconventional works of interesting shape and color. Among them all you can find narrow-waisted, busty women, men with top hats, or Lajkonik-woman.

He is creating paintings, wooden sculptures, and ceramic forms, the representations of women and men of distinctive noses, bulging eyes and swan like necks. They are couples entwined in loving embraces, which communicate with each other with the clear and literal use of their tongues. An odd menagerie also appears – sculptures of cats, pigs, the sheep’s heads, some pictures of roosters and animals of different descriptions, accompanying the Three Wise Men.

Alex Johanson was born in 1966, in Poland.
