The Co(s)mic Picture of Reality in the Art of Julia Curylo is both a collection of essays about the work of Julia Curylo and an album of works by the artist representing a generation of Central and Eastern European artists born in the 1980s. The central part of the book is an essay by Joanna Paneth, an art historian and graduate of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun. Paneth provides an in-depth analysis of Curylo' s selected paintings from a series focusing on space and existential themes. The author discusses the artist' s work in a broader cultural context, referring to the history of art, religion and philosophy and introduces the relatively new current reflected in the artist' s work: space art. The author Joanna Paneth write: ' The entire book is a journey. Curylo takes us on an unforgettable adventure. We begin on Earth amid the surrounding reality, moving slowly towards the solar system, where planets and space probes and galaxies await us. We go deeper into space to end our adventure even further: among biblical figures and to learn the genesis of the Universe' s creation. At each stage of our journey all the elements, people and space are interconnected and together form an uninterrupted narrative continued in the subsequent works of the artist. '
Julia Curylo was born in Warsaw. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and won her MFA in 2009. In January of 2010 she won a competition organized by the Gallery A19 in Warsaw and her large-format mural Lambs of God that was presented there brought her widespread acclaim. In November 2010 Curylo received a Grand Prix from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. In May of 2011 she was nominated for a prestigious award of the 10th edition of Geppert Competition. Subsequent years brought many others exhibitions and presentations of Curylo' s art, including her objects displayed in city spaces, including Warsaw, Poznan (festival No Women No Art) and Bydgoszcz. In 2012 she received a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage designated for a production of series of pneumatic sculptures chicks, again presented in city spaces. In 2016 she was listed in the Compass of Young Art as among the top ten most important young artists. Julia Curylo creates paintings, sculptures and installations, many designed as public space projects, with intertwined references to religion (the Church Fairs and Miraculous Visions series), consumerism, women' s art history (the Chicks installation), science and technology (the Large Hadron Collider series), migrations (the Euro series) and kitsch. Her works are strongly sensual and energetic and address ambiguities of the contemporary world.
