In its superhuman size, it also refers to questions of the trustworthiness and independence of narratives and new technological developments.
By using charged materials–metaphorically or physically–such as marble, ferrite magnets, graphite, and meteorites, he achieves a timeless and universal level in his work. Jaworski’s examination of pictorial traditions and digital perception of space is illustrated in the exhibition by his grid prints on semi-transparent stainless steel mesh or marble slabs. In these works, he emphasizes the relationship between the pictorial background and the image, implying a transition to digital landscapes through pixel-like surfaces.
Lou Jaworski (*1981 in Warsaw, PL) follows a post-minimalist approach with a reduced visual language in his sculptures, installations, and prints. By using metaphorically or physically charged materials such as marble, ferrite magnets, graphite, and meteorites, he achieves a timeless and universal level in his work. For some of his works, Jaworski uses hardware from server racks as architectural structures to explore the potential of material memory and storage. The strong haptic presence of the chosen materials often evokes both mystical and digital references to grids and 3D renderings. Interested in metaphysical questions, pictorial traditions, and phenomena of human perception, Jaworski’s conceptual works are characterized by the interplay of material autonomy, ephemeral abstraction, and physical laws, which he implements in a space-specific manner. The artist understands his works to be amplifiers of architectural elements and material properties, as well as trains of thought and energies, which combine to form expansive installations.
