EMBODIMENT is a cross-disciplinary, film - photographic - painting project. Works are documenting the process of covering women's bodies in abstract paintings.

  

   In Pawel Korab Kowalski’s project woman’s body becomes a support. It is like a membrane between the real world and the spiritual world. Covered in white pigment and illuminated with strong light and high-key lighting the body is annihilated. Nudity which symbolically uncovers cosmic source and the mystery of creation is obscured by a layer of white primer. Boundaries of the body slowly appear after colour is applied. The paint embodies the model. It is a process of body painting as much as painting with the body. Korab builds two perspectives – first, the flat and abstract, based on almost constructivist line scheme and second, created by details and value brings forward the anatomical shape.
