"... 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.”
