performative painting 03 from TOXIC cycle Painting

Performative painting is processual and sensual in nature. It arises over time, through the artist’s actions, using her own, unique technique, then in the course of transformations occurring in the structure and form of the surface of the painting itself, during the spilling, dripping, stretching, and finally in the process of the hardening of the paints and resins, which already beyond the artist’s control. The result is an organic painting/object that bursts out of the surface of the canvas, sometimes almost “exploding” towards the viewer. What is the essence here, however, is not the finite work, but rather the process of its formation, which is why recording the successive sequences through photography or video is equally important for Chamczyk as the work itself. “Photographs documenting painting actions become stories about something that could be called the physiology of pictures, and a physiology in an experimental version, conducted in the artist’s own studio/laboratory. These are stories about the functioning of painterly organisms and about the forcible materiality, or even corporeality, of paints,” writes Grzegorz Borkowski about these works. Chamczyk emphasizes also the immense importance of colour in her paintings. Colour, for her, is the principal medium of everything that she wants to express. Moods, spiritual states are enchanted in it. In this context, the title of the show relates not only to the chemical fumes of the substances that she worked with when painting, but also speaks potently about the accompanying emotional states.
