grüner tisch 2022

Lech Jankowski made this little painting, grüner tisch, with lots of texture and layers. I can imagine the artist, Lech, building up the surface, scraping it back, adding more. There's this intriguing green shape at the bottom, maybe a table, maybe a landscape? The brushstrokes are really gestural, like mountains. It’s as if he’s carving out the form rather than just painting it on. I love how the texture makes it feel so tactile. Like you could reach out and feel the ridges and bumps. This reminds me of other painters who play with surface and depth. In the end, it is the touch that connects us, and makes it all feel immediate and alive. It is this openness, ambiguity, and willingness to explore that makes this piece so engaging.
