ბოლო ნაცრისფერი მუსიკა ბატონი გია ყანჩელისთვის 2019

Lech Jankowski made this small canvas, "Last Gray Music for Mr. Gia Kancheli", using a palette knife and a restrained selection of muted colors. The layering is very visible, and the process feels so important. You can really see the physicality in the marks. The paint is built up to give this incredible texture. Look at the horizon line—it’s a band of creamy white that cuts through the gloom, incised with horizontal marks that mirror the textures in the shadowy figures above. The process of adding and subtracting seems very important to the work. It reminds me a bit of Antoni Tàpies’s work—that same kind of earthy, tactile quality, but Jankowski's piece feels more musical, more like a quiet melody played on a gray day. These kinds of works feel deeply felt, open to interpretation, and value the ambiguity of art.
