Cyryl Polaczek Burza (Storm), 2023
Oscillating between the natural and the everyday—sometimes in the same work—Cyryl Polaczek imagery can have a rebus-like and/or narrative quality that conjures up a story or, in its incongruity, provokes puzzlement: what are we to make of the two figures made of lightning holding hands from one storm cloud to the next? Skillfuly painted the artist's works vary in technique. This painting is part of a series of recent works painted in thin washes with loose brushstrokes, on the brink of dissolving the contours of its motifs.
