Artist Statement for Agnieszka Rudnicki
|
|
|
One may define an artist as a human being who is forced to be truthful.
An artist’s conscious intentions are always at the mercy of inner necessity. An artistic growth, is more then anything else, a refinement of this sense of truthfulness.
A painting is after all “ an artist’s mind realizing itself in colour and space “ . And so every work of art symbolizes an infinite background of thought and feeling.
I feel most real, most truthful to myself, in my studio. After several years of interdisciplinary studies and practice I found that abstract painting is my ideal vehicle of expression. As many of the relations that a painter grasps are non-verbal, the abstract language has become for me a way to explore an interior life of feeling and thought. I wish to create paintings that have a powerful presence, yet at the same time are inwardly tuned, as one is faced with this depth and this fragility.
I tend to work in a series, developing a body of work challenged by an idea or an image I am trying to resolve. Working in a sequence places meaning within the dialogue between paintings and allows for an accumulative experience of the works.
For the past few years I have explored a notion of passage of time, of the layers of perceived reality and its shifting interconnections - our human continual state of flux.
I paint with a strata of layers, illuminating my surfaces and shaping energies until a form is accomplished. Painterly marks circle back and forth, always suggesting that there is greater depth beneath, past experience overlaid, a richness of perceived texture.
For me a painting has to be warm. The yellow ochre being usually the middle tone, followed by the earth tones of reds, siennas ,umbras, black and white.
The presence of firm edges and lines provides an anchor for the observer and the painter, feeling strongly centred , as no matter what the pull there is something to hold on to.
Paradoxically, I try to hold for a moment that which cannot be held, the ephemeral experiences that make up life.
