JERZY KENAR IS WELL-KNOWN
FOR HIS FIGURATIVE CREATING IN WOOD, BRONZE, AND STONE. AS
A CHILD GROWING UP IN POLAND, HE WAS OFTEN FRIGHTENED
BY ANTAGONISTIC FIGURES OF SAINTS, WHICH CHILDREN WERE SIMPLY NOT ABLE
TO APPROACH OR RELATE TO.
TODAY JERZY CREATES FIGURES,
WHICH ARE EMBRACING, ORGANIC, SPIRITUAL,
AND OFTEN INTERACTIVE, WHERE THE PARISHIONERS
AND CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO MENTALLY, AND LITERALLY PHYSICALLY INTERACT WITH
AND RELATE TO.
KENAR'S HOLY FAMILIES
ARE OFTEN PLACED AT AN OVERSIZED TABLE,
WHERE THEY ARE SHARING WITH THE PARISHIONERS THEIR MEAL, THUS FORMING
AN IRREPLACEABLE BOND OF UNITY. CHILDREN ARE COMMONLY
SPOTTED SITTING ON JOSEPH'S LAP, HUGGING JESUS,
WHISPERING THEIR SECRETS TO HIS EAR, OR EATING
A SCHOOL LUNCH, WHERE THE HOLY FAMILY
SEATED AT A ROUND GRANITE TABLE INVITES UP TO 60 OF THEM.
JERZY'S FIGURATIVE CREATIONS AND IDEAS ARE ONE-OF-A
KIND, INTERACTIVE, AND UNFORGETTABLE.
