Overview
MICHAŁ JACKOWSKI: IL CUORE DEL MARE, Porto Rotondo - Milano
"Il Cuore del Mare" is a captivating project by Michał Jackowski, organized by Circle Dynamic Luxury Magazine in collaboration with Cris Contini Contemporary. This summer, five monumental sculptures were installed as an urban exhibition in Porto Rotondo, followed by an exclusive showcase in Milan at the Vik Gallery in October 2024.
 
Jackowski draws inspiration from the Mediterranean Sea, intertwining its fluidity with the human form. His sculptures, perched on pedestals of varying heights, invite viewers to step back and reassess their connection to the surrounding world. The works feature shades of blue and green, accented with glimmers of 24-karat gold, creating a harmonious blend of nature and opulence. He pays homage to classical art using traditional casting and modelling techniques of materials such as bronze and stone.
As a sculptor and a sailor, Jackowski explains how he captures the vitality of the sea: “the lips that blow and puff up become the ‘Breeze’ and the scattered hair represents the winds in ‘Scirocco’ and ‘Tramontana’.” ‘The Eye of the Sea’ sits upon the port on the coast, observing the city, as a lighthouse would do. While ‘Dream of the Sea’, looking at the ships returning home, is represented with a closed eye.
The sea, much like the human body, is a life force. Jackowski’s sculptures personify its changeability and depth, encouraging viewers to reflect on the hidden aspects of their own lives and the treasures yet to be discovered.
Following the summer's grandeur, Jackowski brings his work to the heart of Milan at the prestigious Vik Gallery, showcasing “Social Mirror” and “Empty Gold Man”. These sculptures delve into the modern human condition, with “Social Mirror” depicting a human face in the form of a rippled “mirror”, symbolizing the impact of social media and the digital age on identity and self-perception. Through this powerful exhibition, Jackowski offers an unflinching examination of the human psyche in our increasingly digital world.

"Il Cuore del Mare" è il progetto innovativo di Michał Jackowski, organizzato da Circle Dynamic Luxury Magazine in collaborazione con Cris Contini Contemporary. Quest'estate, cinque sculture monumentali sono state installate in una mostra urbana a Porto Rotondo, seguita da una mostra esclusiva a Milano presso la Vik Gallery ad ottobre 2024.
 
Jackowski trae ispirazione dal Mar Mediterraneo, intrecciandone la fluidità con la forma umana. Le sue sculture, che svettano su piedistalli di diverse altezze, invitano gli spettatori a fare un passo indietro e rivalutare il loro legame con il mondo circostante. Le opere presentano sfumature di blu e verde, accentuate da luccichii di oro a 24 carati, creando un armonico connubio tra natura e opulenza. L'artista ende omaggio all'arte classica utilizzando tecniche tradizionali di fusione e modellazione di materiali come bronzo e pietra.
In qualità di scultore e marinaio, Jackowski spiega come ha catturato la vitalità del mare nelle sue opere: "le labbra che soffiano e si gonfiano diventano la 'Brezza', e i capelli sparsi rappresentano i venti di 'Scirocco' e 'Tramontana'". 'L'Occhio del Mare' si trova nel porto sulla costa, ad osservare la città, come farebbe un faro. Mentre 'Sogno del Mare', che guarda le navi rientrare a casa, è rappresentato con un occhio chiuso.
Il mare, come il corpo umano, è una forza vitale. Le sculture di Jackowski personificano la sua mutevolezza e profondità, incoraggiando gli spettatori a riflettere sugli aspetti nascosti della propria vita e sui tesori ancora da scoprire.
Dopo la grandiosia mostra urbana dell'estate, Jackowski porta il suo lavoro nel cuore di Milano presso la prestigiosa Vik Gallery, presentando opere come "Social Mirror" e "Empty Gold Man". Queste sculture indagano la condizione umana moderna, con "Social Mirror" che raffigura un volto umano sotto forma di uno "specchio" increspato, simboleggiando l'impatto dei social media e dell'era digitale sull'identità e l'autopercezione. Attraverso questa potente personale, Jackowski ci offre la sua interpretazione della psiche umana nel nostro mondo sempre più digitale.
