About The Artwork

Artwork is reserved for an exhibition in BWA Bydgoszcz Poland (20.03-29.04.2018). from the series "Self-dissolution" "In her latest works, Grażyna Smalej abandons her former photorealism-esque method of presenting human contact with water (evident in paintings like “Bathing”, numbered from 1 to 70). There is a clear departure here from studies of water in its various manifestations (drops, surfaces, the depths, trickling, splashing, concentric circles or a splashed plume) and also from any attempt to capture a fraction of a second on canvas. In the “Bathings” this fraction is really tiny, because these paintings are directly inspired by photography. A camera’s photosensitive matrix can record an event that the naked eye is incapable of detecting; the shutter of a standard lens opens for 1/125 of a second, and for 1/500 of a second in bright sunlight. The human brain is not able to distinguish a visual event of such short duration, so a camera can be very helpful. When paying attention to detail, accurate study of luxuriant water shapes is only possible with the assistance of optical tools of varied precision." KB

I move between different styles, combining abstraction with figuration. Concerning themes and my color palette, I have no restrictions, with one exception: I avoid dramatism in depicted situations. Only the scale between extensive backgrounds and minor human figures or vehicles is constant. I am inspired by Dutch painting, especially by Peter Breughel. I like to think of my paintings as a kind of poetry without words. http://www.artminnow.com/index.php/2017/04/14/a-conversation-with-grazyna-smalej/
