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.
Włodzimierz Pawlak (born April 15, 1957 in Korytów near Żyrardów) is an acclaimed Polish painter, performer, poet and art theorist whose work has played a significant role in the Polish art scene since the 1980s. Pawlak graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where he studied under Rajmund Ziemski and also began working as a lecturer in 1986. He was one of the co-founders of the avant-garde art group “Gruppa,” which in the 1980s took bold actions commenting on the socio-political situation in Poland during martial law.
