Features and remarks
Here you have the opportunity to acquire an original painting by Henryk Cześnik from 1994.
The Polish painter is known for his expressive works created from the immediacy of drawing. Deformed human figures are a recurring motif in his works.In his works, Cześnik weaves his own and experienced stories into dark, atmospheric collages of image and material.
"Die letze Reise" (probably "last") is a timeless memento mori. A hearse with skeletons drives in front of a contourless landscape of pink-white and red-brown colours.
The figures are labelled with countless lines of force and movement as well as contorted limbs. Crosses and painterly hints of white lace refer to the coffin as the last vessel of the human body. The collaged image of a child at the top right can be interpreted as a reference to the beginning of life and at the same time the memory of those who remain.
„It doesn't matter in my work, the sense of time doesn't count, it's unimportant, the situation can take place a hundred years ago and maybe a hundred years from now, or maybe today. It doesn't matter, the most important thing is the atmosphere, the climate builds up my inner being, the situation I find myself in, this moment is important and decides everything.“
Henryk Cześnik
