Cezary Pieczyński’s Collection
Collecting works of art in itself involves collecting worlds. Each artist focuses in their work on a certain smaller or larger element of reality, the dynamics of which they reflect in their works. Selected artists present various spaces that can be called individual, separate worlds. These are not always spaces in the sense of a literal, physical place – sometimes they are found in people, postures, gestures. For example, Janusz Bąkowski chose the Old Town as his world, and Jeremy Siskind – the human body with all its possibilities. In his world, Mikołaj Smoczyński focuses on the austerity of the surrounding walls and floors; in Ryszard Waśko's space, human expression dominates, which can be multiplied or cut into pieces. Fortunata Obrąpalska's worlds are diverse, and they are connected by haze, distance, and ambiguity.
The works are diverse to show the individuality and originality of choosing this fragment of reality that is given attention in art. And in this way, seemingly different, unrelated works by artists who are not familiar with each other can be juxtaposed, building a collection of worlds that are connected and complement each other.
