Image space II

Włodzimierz Pawlak’s “Logical Image Space” series is a kind of artist’s diary. However, unlike Pawlak’s famous Diaries, it has not so much an existential dimension as an ontological one – it is cognitive in nature, alluding to the work of avant-garde masters such as Malevich, Strzeminski, Rodchenko and Stażewski. On large canvases, Pawlak places small “picture-quotes,” often featuring geometric figures, diagrams or motifs of prehistoric art, accompanied by pencil captions. This series, while clearly documenting the artist’s inspirations, leaves room for interpretation, revealing only a fragment of his creative reflections on art and its history.
