Trompeten zum Hören von Fußboden mit Pause - Diptychon 2019

This diptych by Lech Jankowski presents an environment of soft grays and muted greens, punctuated by delicate, dark shapes that resemble trumpets or maybe even strange flowers. I imagine Jankowski layering these colours, scraping back, building up a surface that feels both ancient and strangely present. I can almost feel the artist's hand moving across the canvas, guided by an inner sense of rhythm and balance. The trumpets stand like silent observers, their forms both familiar and alien. They remind me a bit of Giorgio de Chirico’s surrealist landscapes, or the quiet, enigmatic objects in a Morandi still life, inviting us to pause and listen to the quiet hum of the everyday. Each brushstroke, each subtle shift in color, invites us to enter into a space of contemplation and imaginative possibility. It's like Jankowski is speaking a visual language, one that resonates with feeling and a deep, unspoken knowing. Painting offers us this possibility: to connect with something beyond words, to feel our way through the world.
