Krzysztof Gliszczyński

„In der Malerei suche ich die Spannung zwischen ihrer materiellen Ursache (Farbe) und der Idee, die sie trägt. Diese Verbindung ermöglicht dank des flüssigen Mediums der Malerei das Studium von Zwischenzuständen, die außerhalb der Zeit liegen, zwischen dem Abwesenden und dem Sichtbaren. Die Fluidität der Malerei ermöglicht es durch die Zeit zu gehen und Ihren Platz dazwischen zu finden.

Im Prozess der Aktion - der Malerei - ist der Körper eine Verbindung, die sich in eine Funktion des Mediums verwandelt, um sein Spiegel zu werden. Die Sprache des Körpers erzählt mehr, indem sie das Unsichtbare enthüllt. Der Körper und seine Geste öffnen das Unbewusste, um die Details zu zerlegen und das Ganze im schöpferischen Prozess der Verfremdung im Rahmen zu halten. Der Moment des Verschmelzens und Brechens - diese beiden Widersprüche - werden für mich zu einem Gebot, nach neuen Bedeutungen zu suchen. Sie werden zu einer Frage nach der Neigung, dem Sinn und der Pulp-Fiktion unserer Realität. "
