Animal Sculptures from Glass Waste in Warsaw

In Ursynów’s Alternatywy Cultural Center, sculptor Marta Klonowska unveils “Szklana menażeria”, a mesmerizing collection of animal figures forged from thousands of meticulously cut glass fragments. Drawing inspiration from works by masters like Rubens and Snyders, Klonowska transforms overlooked creatures from classic paintings into vivid, three-dimensional presences. Echoing Tennessee Williams’ play, the exhibition’s title captures the tension between shimmering beauty and piercing fragility—both alluring and unsettling. A brand-new piece, “Kuropatwa” (“Partridge”), inspired by Józef Chełmoński’s 1891 painting, makes its debut. Admission is free through Aug. 30.
