2019, tworzywo sztuczne z popio\u0142em drzewnym

Mierz\u0105c si\u0119 z klasycznym tematem studium postaci, artysta przetwarza kszta\u0142ty i form\u0119 przez w\u0142asn\u0105 wra\u017cliwo\u015b\u0107, ekspresj\u0119 i emocje. Testing the waters to rze\u017aba, w kt\u00f3rej moc i wyrazisto\u015b\u0107 formy stykaj\u0105 si\u0119 z delikatno\u015bci\u0105 gestu: posta\u0107 wysuwa do przodu jedn\u0105 stop\u0119, jak gdyby sprawdzaj\u0105c temperatur\u0119 wody. Jej punkt ci\u0119\u017cko\u015bci wydobywa si\u0119 z kontrastu.

Tytu\u0142 nawi\u0105zuje zar\u00f3wno do stosunku artysty wobec materii w trakcie procesu tworzenia, jak r\u00f3wnie\u017c stosunku obserwuj\u0105cego wobec dzie\u0142a. W rze\u017abie uda\u0142o uchwyci\u0107 si\u0119 co\u015b efemerycznego: napi\u0119cie, kiedy jeszcze jest si\u0119 w momencie decyzji, badania, wyczekiwania reakcji, sprawdzania temperatury. To moment, w kt\u00f3rym jeszcze nic nie wiadomo na pewno: kot Schrodingera jest zar\u00f3wno \u017cywy i martwy. Nic nie jest jeszcze przes\u0105dzone, wi\u0119c wszystko mo\u017ce jeszcze si\u0119 zdarzy\u0107. Jaka\u017c jest ta woda?

Testing the Waters
2019, synthetic material with tree ash

In confronting the classic theme of figure studies, the artist transforms shapes and forms through his own sensitivity, expression, and emotions. \u201eTesting the Waters\u201d is a sculpture where the strength and clarity of form meet the subtlety of gesture: the figure extends one foot forward as if to test the water\u2019s temperature. Its center of gravity emerges from this contrast.

The title echoes both the artist\u2019s interaction with the material throughout the creative process and the observer\u2019s engagement with the artwork. The sculpture captures something ephemeral: the tension in the midst of making a decision, exploration, awaiting a reaction, testing the temperature. It\u2019s a moment where nothing is yet certain: Schr\u00f6dinger\u2019s cat is both alive and dead. Nothing has been decided, so anything can still happen. What is the nature of this water?<\/p>\n
