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.
The multi-layered image on an old, repurposed cardboard box is contextualised by two titles and comments. At the top we read "Wszystkich nas umilowal" (He loved us all), which in Catholic Poland can certainly be equated with the love of God, and at the bottom right, somewhat less obviously, "Dom wariatów z krzyżami" (Lunatic asylum with crucifixes).
The stencilled figures are probably inmates of a "lunatic asylum" or a similar institution for the sick. We see them lying in bed, with their legs propped up or in a wheelchair.
Above this, domes and arches refer to the architecture of cathedrals, the house of God. A crucifix with the suffering Jesus is also indicated on the left.
The figures are only drawn in black and white - only the collaged image of an erotic woman painted over in red at the bottom right enlivens the scene.
„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
