Evening #1 

Iwo Zaniewski's "Evening #1" presents a study in contrasts, divided sharply between the cool blues and greens of the outside world and the warm, muted tones of an interior. A vibrant red lamp is the focal point around which the domestic scene seems to coalesce. The composition teeters on the edge of abstraction; forms are suggested rather than defined, inviting us to complete them in our minds. Zaniewski uses color to create a push and pull between the flatness of the picture plane and an illusion of depth. The scene flattens and destabilizes depth perception, challenging conventional perspective. Note how the texture of the paint creates a palpable sense of atmosphere, lending the piece a dreamlike quality. This work disrupts the traditional distinctions between the real and the imagined, inviting us to consider the role of memory and perception in shaping our understanding of space.
