Züchtung von Nachtfaltern in Rauten 2016

Lech Jankowski made this painting, Züchtung von Nachtfaltern in Rauten, with a muted palette and a collection of geometrical forms. I can imagine the artist layering the paint in such a way that creates a soft, weathered texture, and the blue, grey and brown colours create a dream-like landscape. The title seems to suggest the cultivation of moths in diamonds, which feels playful yet also a bit cryptic. Perhaps Jankowski was interested in the way that nature and geometry intersect? I'm thinking of how he places these angular shapes against the more organic, amorphous background - it feels like a conversation between different ways of seeing the world. There's a tiny red square in the lower right corner that draws my eye. Its colour pops out against the cool tones, and the simple geometry feels very precise in comparison to the rest of the painting. It makes me wonder, what other artists might be in conversation with Jankowski? I feel like he is inviting me to explore the poetry of abstraction.
