Opening book 015

Izabela Kowalczyk's paintings are mental constructions that invite communication, contact and dialogue. Her research into the boundary between the single and the multiple, the fundamental difference between painting and printmaking, has led her to a technique of making the image in several stages, between construction and deconstruction. Each image is the result of the translation of several pictorial spaces into a new space, based on intuitive perspective. In this selection for opening book, she presents cubes, or rather fragments of imaginary architecture, evoking corridors or passageways. Transparent and light, these objects float in an undefined space. They are open, spacious, empty and pierced. With air and light flowing through them, they allude to movement, circulation, transition, inhalation and exhalation. There is no longer any boundary between open and closed space, light and shadow, inside and outside, full and empty.
