Igor Mitoraj was unmarried. In recent years he divided his time between Poland and Italy. He continued to exhibit until the end of his life — most recently this year at ContiniArtUK in London’s New Bond Street — with the concept of broken beauty his constant muse. “The idea of beauty is ambiguous, a double-edged sword,” he said. “My art is an example of this dichotomy: mesmerising perfection attached to corrupted imperfection.”
Polish-born sculptor Igor Mitoraj greatly admired classical civilization and built a repertoire based on imagery that evokes the Greco-Roman world. However, the artist primarily worked with fragmentary descriptions or figures superimposed with classical imagery.
Like much of modern art, I appreciate that it’s art, and that it’s someone’s artistic interpretation of something. In this case I just can’t tell what that something is, unless it’s the ultimate example of blank eyes staring back at you. If I stand next to it, I am still shorter than the nose. The significance of the art escaped me, so I looked further.
Mitoraj died on October 6, 2014 in Paris, France at the age of 70. In 2016, the late artist was the subject of an exhibition held in the ruins of Pompeii which included his statues of the mythological figures Icarus and Daedalus.
