Malgorzata Szymankiewicz:
Nowadays
artists using a painting medium are taking an advantage from the possibilities
which offers them for instance digital camera or visual art. Fast technical
development and tendencies of seeing everything sharper, have created a
situation where also contemporary art is
looking at reality more carefully. After all in painting appears mimetic
trains, more and more complicated contents and meanings, with which abstractive
art had been fighting. Under such circumstances arise many questions, for
instance: If painting can still be independent? It’s for me so much important
question, that fixes directions of my work. My work are self decrypting, about
painting and a way I do understand it. There is no distinct border between form
and content. But what content at all? Does it follow from the color surface? Or
becomes derivatively forced in by the theoreticians of art? Where does the
communicate ends and the clear abstract start? Does abstractionists experience
is not possible to continue? As one can see, there is more doubts, than clear
answers.
Paintings
have to consider pure painting issues and a play with the abstractive painting
convention. Color and spot became a main theme of my paintings. It turned out
that simple problem becomes beginning of something, what has for me a deeper
sense an makes me wonder. I’m interested in which forms displays the color on
the canvas. It assumes usually form of “non-shape” spot or few strictly
correlated spots. My paintings are color’s defining test, but no in scientific
way. Using a color, I wanted to create a my own arte-facts and optical
illusions, whose will be able to arise only in a painting form. That’s the
reason why my paintings are phenomenological. I understand color as a
phenomena, and a painting becomes a point of visual battle. That’s the kind of
painting where former experience and work is very important, where I draw
conclusions. These conclusions grow a subject of next paintings. Canvas I treat
more like an experimental area, where everything can happen, but before it
ensue you have to prepare to that perfectly and think the matter over.
