Anna’s art works are large format abstract compositions mainly, full of bold, contrasting colors and varying texture applied to canvas. These energetic and expressive paintings contain multithreaded interpretations of color spots being an authentic, spontaneous and dynamic art. The latest collection of collages on canvas by Anna Polanowska resulted from the combination of diverse techniques and media. A multi-step creative process includes - among others - techniques such as monotype, drawing, collage, computer graphics, painting as well as the use of various materials eg. paints, threads, wire, twine, nails, drawing pins etc. It's a surreal presentation based on a courageous combination of forms, a deconstruction of commonly known shapes, modeling of images by including extraneous materials into their structure and application of impastos with varied texture of paints. All this gives the images a multiple dimensions, but also the multithreading of thought and the subject. The artist provokes by motives inspired by the modern world, society, its transformations and the human relationship with the environment. Her collection of collages on canvas is the perfect match for those who appreciate fresh perspective on art, breaking the rules of generally accepted standards.
