1LC SymM+R Brighton Blue Painting

"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)
