About The Artwork

The painting depicts a typical scene in a gallery: vernissage of an exhibition with several visitors. Some look at a large, intensely red, abstract picture that represents the central motif and directs the viewer's gaze into the middle and immediately into the depths. The man in front of the picture (gallerist) seems to communicate with the gaze of the man (collector) on the right – but that's not true: his question 'what do you think' is addressed to the woman who defines the right edge of the picture. This is the main axis of the picture, which also binds and intrigues the viewer. The strong, dark group of three people on the right (third person only dimly in the background) is balanced by the brightly dressed figure, bent over an object in the lower left corner of the picture. Even if the perspective of the red abstract image tilts significantly to the right, the composition appears stable. The color scheme also follows this pattern: bright on the right and almost monochrome background indicates the depth of the room, on the left it rounds off the room in a more saturated and multi-colored way. The colors of the picture are basically somewhat subdued – I achieve this by painting on a dark (usually van Dyck Brown) background. I apply the dark, first layer of paint unevenly, which already gives me the first color structure of the picture. Then there are a few more layers until I achieve the satisfactory effect. Some parts are then lightened with white glaze. I do not use any, even light impasto when applying the paints, as I prefer rather silky smooth surface of the painting. I first carried out this work in acrylic paints, which allows me to work faster (I like to see if my composition is right as soon as possible) and then I added oil paints to the subtleties and final allover. The painting works without a frame, however, I would strongly recommend framing according to the collector’s taste, as it would additionally enhance the image.

I live in Vienna, Austria and in Venice, Italy "I’m primarily an abstract painter, although with visible connection especially to landscape painting. My pictures are painted dynamically, on a grand scale. They emanate a wealth of color and latent emotion. The richness of color does not come from a wide range of colors, but how they are put together. I try to achieve a carefully thought-out and precisely linked construction of planes. Recently I started a series of figurative paintings, which deal mostly with people and their perception of arts. I’m right now fascinated with the world outside of a museum or an art fair but seen from inside a museum – it is a look out on the street: visitors, who just left or casual bystanders. Four such paintings are here attached." Ursula studied History of Art at Jagiellonian University in Cracow (diploma in Modern and Contemporary Art), which was followed by different studies (a. o. in Harvard, USA). She has been living in Vienna since long time, travelling extensively - especially to the Far East and to North America. She is primarily an abstract painter, although with visible connection especially to landscape painting. Recently she started a series of figurative paintings, which deal mostly with people and their perception of arts. One of the art critics wrote about her painting: "The pictures (...) are painted dynamically, on a grand scale. They emanate a wealth of colour and latent emotion. We enter a world of coloured stains, which suggest that space has given birth to something new, something worth recording. The artist constructs a pictorial space based on colour. The richness of colour does not come from a wide range of colours, but from her knowing how to put them together. She achieves a carefully thought-out and precisely linked construction of planes. Each ‘stain’ has its own logic, emotional and constructional. The paintings do not have formal geometry, but they certainly don’t lack structure, which comes from the twists and turns of the brush strokes. Each touch of the brush, contriving both breadth and synthesis, brings to the whole a character of unusual weight. It has a life of its own, and giving off an individual radiance it goes towards bringing about that overall harmony which can be likened to that of a musical symphony. A diversity of images arises from a palette of warm and cold colours whose rhythm, discreetly but unwaveringly, leads to a play of values.
