Niebioskości dyptyk 2020

Lech Jankowski's diptych "Niebioskości" invites us into a textured world of muted blues, greys, and earthy browns. I imagine Jankowski building up layers, almost like sediment, creating this craggy surface. You can almost feel the grit of the paint! There's something intriguing about the ladder-like forms that emerge from the depths. Were they carefully planned or did they appear by chance, like finding shapes in the clouds? I wonder if he was thinking about the Polish avant-garde, like Strzeminski, who were also trying to figure out a new visual language. Ultimately, paintings like this remind us that art is a conversation, a back-and-forth across time. Jankowski speaks to the past, and in turn, sparks something new in us. It’s about embracing uncertainty, letting the painting lead the way, and finding our own meaning within its depths.
