In painting people with slip, the most fascinating aspect has always been the transformation of an ordinary person into a clay man or clay woman. It is a transformation worth experiencing yourself by painting your body with clay in the city of ceramics.
In terms of consistency, slip feels velvety to the touch and is very skin-friendly, but once it dries, the layer we are painted with hardens and creates a feeling of immobilization, as if we were turning into a living statue. In the photographs Artur Żurawski, we can see this moment of contemplation and stillness—the act of stepping into the role of a clay woman or clay man.
In numerous portraits, the photographer captured the magic of transforming into a parade character: from a person into a stage persona. Artur Żurawski also has the ability to capture moments in the frame—joy, reflection and ecstasy—and to illustrate the atmosphere of the event. We recommend visiting the photographer’s page and viewing all the photographs, because the range of photographic subjects on Facebook is extensive and it is worth seeing all the topics Artur Żurawski photographs.
