Designer 

Iwo Zaniewski's painting 'Designer' presents a study in contrasts and spatial relationships, achieved through a muted palette and careful composition. The viewer's eye is drawn across the herringbone floor towards a figure in the background, framed by a doorway. The painting is structured by its geometry and relative perspectives; the brown hues that dominate the walls and floor create a sense of enclosure, subtly juxtaposed with a modern black stripe on a white canvas, a detail which punctuates the scene with a hint of the avant-garde. This element introduces a play between the interior world and artistic creation. The work invites us to consider how the domestic and the abstract intersect. The seemingly mundane setting gains complexity through the interplay of its visual elements. Zaniewski's arrangement doesn't offer clear resolutions, instead, it prompts ongoing visual and intellectual questioning.
