About The Artwork

"Marek Tobolewski's exhibition is titled Sym, with individual paintings and drawings going under names such as 2LC DipSym Neg and 1LC SymM+R. The fact that such designations come across as suggestive of cryptic or downright impenetrable technical formulae to most of us might stress the artist's apparent reliance on precise systems of procedure, but this in no way distracts from the work's enduring enigmatic lure. Tobolewski might skirt dangerously close to the kind of spaced-out geometric mannerisms that, in a less sensitive artist, would betray a paperback misreading of the cosmic implications of chaos theory. Yet his is a rare skill in being able to make such references at the same time as imbuing every one of his swirling lines with a highly personal lyrical grace. This is art that comes over all joyous although it has obviously been achieved through sustained reflective struggle.” Robert Clark - Guardian From an ongoing series of Continuum works 1996-2015. 1LC = 1 Line Continuum Sym = Symmetry M = Mirrored R = Rotated Brighton Blue = Personalised mixed colour Purchased UNFRAMED (due to high shipping costs)

English b.1964 Lives & works in Nottingham UK. Resident artist at PRIMARY Nottingham ... Recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award ... Pre-Covid collaborate with the 2021 collective Turner Prize winner Grace McMurray, the Belfast based artist, for The Expanded Studio Project with PS2 in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2019 "... Marek Tobolewski'’s work continues to entrance and mystify... CiS is the most impressive show of Tobolewski’s I have ever seen ... his artistic practice seems to be a never-ceasing journey along a single path, continually striving for new insights and perfections." Andrew Cooper-NVA Ed Drawing underpins my practice, it deals within both the formal process of abstraction today and its historical continuity. The ongoing Continuum series of works are concerned with spatial portals held within symmetry and reflection, of rotated and mirrored linear forms. The linear ’Syms’ are continually evolving and endlessly being reinvented … “I return to existing works, adjust structures and refine each individual flow of a line in an attempt to hold a balance between movement and stillness.”
