Artist Statement – Aleksander Kosmala
I am a painter and computer graphic artist. Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland, in 1979.
Since 1986 I have lived and worked in Denmark.
I paint, draw and create computer graphics.
Member of the art groups CIRRUS, Kunstudstilling LF and BKF.
The horizonless painting
My paintings have changed. Previously, these took place on a stage in a three-dimensional space. Something I built up with the help of the central perspective.
Today, the scene in my paintings is a two-dimensional, perspective-less scene:
People and objects appear here on an abstract, often colourful planar geometric background
A world without a horizon. A world liberated from the central perspective. Modern man appears here in period clothing, living in a timeless, abstract space.
Perhaps they live in a world without the ability to orientate themselves, to themselves and to each other?
As a contrast to humans, I also paint objects such as robots, drones and other humans. robots, drones and other man-made machines.
A world where Alternative Intelligence is on the rise.
Is it beneficial or detrimental?
I don’t give answers, I ask questions.
