The Mouth of Hell
2022,
oil, canvas
190 x 160
Krzysztof Gil’s primary artistic focus lies in the history of the Romani people and their representation in Western culture. The depiction of hell serves as a metaphor for portraying otherness. The artist emphasizes that perceptions of the Roma frequently stem from stereotypes, folklore, and misconceptions, leading to misunderstanding and exclusion. The massive frame – representing the jaws of Hell – invites viewers to engage with the image that illustrates the fear of otherness.
