Features and remarks
Here you have the opportunity to acquire an expansive painting by Henryk Cześnik.
The painting, created in 1994, was painted on a hospital sheet - a trademark of the Gdansk painter.Illness and art
Cześnik 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. Due to a long period of illness, he repeatedly situates his pictures in hospital scenarios and a correspondingly ambiguous mood.
The body of Christ lying in the womb of the Mother of God is clearly recognisable. With a collaged face in the style of a popular devotional image, the Saviour is clearly identified - even if he appears here still alive and with his eyes open, contrary to the demands of the subject.
The rest of the depiction is much more rudimentary: Mary is only indicated as a sketch in a block. Her colours blue and red accentuate individual parts of her "absent" figure. The rest remains "dirt" and emptiness.
„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.“
