Janina Myronova: Voilà is now open at Galerie Lefebvre & Fils, Paris

September 15 – October 17, 2020

Lefebvre & Fils Gallery is pleased to announce the first solo-show of the Polish artist Janina Myronova, work realised in residency in Versailles during the summer of 2020.

Clay always expresses different feelings in varying places. And in every site my sculptures demonstrate other emotions. First time in Paris. I don’t know this city yet. I only watched it from the car window, admired, wanted to stop, to immerse in it. This is the beginning … we’ll see what response it awakens.

Solitude in the workshop. Concentration at work. Different. Most often ceramic studios are raging with social life. Not alone. Three cats, between them the most beautiful Kikito. I’m talking with them and I know that they feel like I need their presence. Sounds and smell of an old house, especially between the second and third floor. French, so caressing, coming from the street. Laughing neighbours. First sculptures are ready, but the next ones will change as always. Merci pour ces sentiments. Merci pour l’invitation.

Janina Myronova, July 2020

My characters display a specific, distorted body perspective. The forms are a bit clunky, chubby, anatomically misshapen, marked with accents which double the characters or hybridize their silhouettes. Each sculpture is a different personality, a personal story, a graphic “novel” featuring my favorite motifs: images of family relationships, parent and child, partners, pets. My emotions are “scratched” into them, with a subtle hint towards humor. Wonder, anger, fear and joy are all present there.


Janina Myronova was born in 1987 in Donetsk, Ukraine, and now works and lives in Wroclaw, Poland. From 2010-2012 she graduated a Master of Arts at the Lviv National Academy of Fine Arts, Ukraine, Departmant of Ceramic Art and from 2012-2013 she graduated a Master of Arts in Ceramic Design, Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, Poland, Department of Ceramics and Glass, followed by 2015-2019 a PhD studies in Ceramics Design, Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, Poland, Department of Ceramics and Glass.
