Jurek Wajdowicz: Solace: Kasia Michalski Gallery, Warsaw

11 June - 31 July 2015

A luminous form in space...hovering between a photograph and traditional painting. I want my work to float between representation and abstraction, perceived and imagined, offering an emotional freedom to the viewer. It’s a suggestion rather than a description. I’m concerned with the issues of space, light, tone and unpredictability. I’m still searching for that “liminal space”, this mysterious threshold embodying the dichotomy of what is seen, and what is felt. The “unseen” is endlessly more fascinating to me that what I observe purely with my lenses. This ambiguity is so critical to my work as it has a transcending effect of making the mundane beautiful which, in turn, hopefully, makes you wonder what you are looking at and why.—Jurek Wajdowicz
