18.12.15., Composition with black 2015

Andrzej Nowacki created "18.12.15., Composition with black" using paint to produce an intriguing visual experience. The composition consists of black and white vertical lines which create a structured rhythm across the square canvas, invoking a sensation of order. The lines in the middle section deviate from the strict vertical arrangement seen above and below, and introduce a contrasting, undulating pattern. This break in linearity invites us to question our perception of order and chaos. The systematic placement of lines across the canvas explores the language of signs, each line acting as a stroke in a larger visual syntax. The work engages with post-structuralist ideas, challenging the stability of meaning and highlighting the fluidity inherent in visual language. The black and white palette heightens the sense of contrast and tension, emphasizing the structural elements at play. The interaction between the straight and curved lines destabilizes any fixed interpretation, reflecting broader philosophical inquiries into the nature of reality.
