Perdea neagră pentru Domnul Paul Ancel 2019

Lech Jankowski created this 50 x 50 cm work, "Perdea neagră pentru Domnul Paul Ancel," with an unknown medium to deliver an immediate sense of foreboding. The dark hues and textured surfaces evoke a somber and intense emotional response. The composition of this abstract work is divided horizontally. Above, a heavy, dark field is modulated by vertical streams of light. These light patterns add depth, suggesting a curtain, or perhaps the fall of rain. Below, a stark white band contrasts sharply with the darkness, punctuated by three small, dark shapes. The interplay of light and shadow creates a semiotic tension. The contrast between the textured darkness and smooth light suggests themes of concealment and revelation, absence and presence. The work destabilizes any fixed interpretation. It's a visual poem open to endless readings.
