ku rtyna nad morzem 2021

Lech Jankowski made "ku rtyna nad morzem," dimensions 19 x 24 cm, using what looks like oil paint applied with an impasto technique. I love the way this piece embraces process; it's all about the physicality of moving paint around. Looking at the texture, you can almost feel the weight of each stroke. The artist isn't trying to hide anything – you see every dab and swirl. It reminds me of those moments when you're just lost in the act of painting, not worrying about the outcome, just enjoying the feel of the brush. Check out the upper central part of the painting; there are these intense little purple and blue marks that create this amazing shimmering effect. The piece captures something essential about mark making, how each gesture builds up to create something larger than itself. It’s like looking at a Turner through a slightly out-of-focus lens, blurring the lines between representation and abstraction. Art, like memory, isn’t always about perfect clarity.
