The exhibition Painting of Uncertainty presents large works by Dora Hara, which the artist calls membranes. A dozen or so monumental paintings on silk, which were created between 2014 and 2017, will be hung in the upper exhibition room in Galeria Bielska BWA; Among them Insight, for which Dora Hara received the third prize at the 9th International Biennale of Fabric Art "From Lausanne to Beijing" in 2016 in China. The theme was inspired by the raindrops flowing down a window pane in a nameless city - giant water drops reflect and absorb the surrounding artificial light, creating a rainbow abstraction.

The walls of the room will be hung with the artist's oil paintings on canvas and paper, providing a counterpoint.

The title of the exhibition evokes undefined phenomena related to the relativity of the reception of painting values. The concept of "uncertainty" is derived from quantum physics.

"The artist has for years been painting on silk, which she treats like membranes stretched on large metal frames. She paints with watercolours on thin, non-primed material, whose transparency enables her to obtain the effect of smooth colour transition. The artist exhibits her light shiny silks, freed from the frames, and showing multicoloured, decisive compositions. Sensitive to every movement of the air, they undergo constant, if slight, changes of form."
