Common Rue

(Polski) Obraz należy do naj­now­szego cyklu Zbigniewa Rogal­skiego Rośliny abor­cyjne. Ruta jest jednym z ziół, których kategorycz­nie zakazuje się kobietom w ciąży. Jej spożywanie może skutkować poronieniem nawet w bardzo zaawan­sowanym stadium.

My Collection

In his new cycle “My Col­lec­tion” Zbigniew Rogal­ski presents scenes created on the basis of Araki’s, Teller’s or Richardson’s renow­ned photographs.

Lightnings

The theme for the series, a thun­der­storm, weaves together with the matter of the white thread used for the embroidery of light­nings. It was done using embroidery hoops used in traditional handicraft.

Tears

The piece was created in col­laboration with Bytom label who sup­plied the flowing band of wool­len black fabric and produced the embroidery. It refers to the cinema screen and its rol­ling credits, as seen through eyes glassy with emotion.

Light

Moscow

Eye Fundus Landscape

The view of dry bran­ches against the sky, refer­ring, in turn, to the ear­lier series titled ‘Death of a Par­tisan’ (‘Śmierć par­tyzanta’, 2005), trans­for­med into a diagnostic image of the eye, which manifests signs of illness.

1.6 Seconds

Sea

In the photograph used for the light­box you can see a photo by a Japanese artist, Sugimoto, depic­ting sea—rolled into a tube.

End of Light

Untitled (with Zbigniew Rogalski)

Artist Zbigniew Rogal­ski was char­ged with the task of developing the work fur­ther and in response he placed a rescaled study of a hip bone in the center of the canvas.

Stories

The Study of Coal

How she sees the moon

(Polski) Rogal­skiego fascynuje jak zmienia się nasza per­spek­tywa i jakość obrazowania w obliczu inten­syw­nej obser­wacji obiektów.

Projection

Refined multi-​level project con­cer­ned with the visionariness of art, its illusions and material dimension.

Closer

Series of 3 pain­tings – intimate por­traits. Faces lying on pil­lows, are depic­ted from too close distance – images double, facial features lose their individuality, leaving the question of gender open.

Death of a partisan

Each of the six pain­tings from the series depicts a moment in which the con­tours of reality begin to blur. It refers to a scene from a Soviet war movie that depic­ted the death of a par­tisan from his own sub­jec­tive point of view. The per­spec­tive of the pain­ting makes us become its main protagonist, depic­ted in the moment of death, while still stan­ding in front of the painting.

Funeral portraits

Contemporary vanitas. The inspiration for this series of pain­tings was the image reflec­ted on the sur­face of the por­celain funeral photographs.

Private Spring

(Self)reflective attempt at a con­tem­porary land­scape pain­ting. In the photograph, inc­luded in the passé-partout, one can see a refec­tion of the artist’s studio.

Together

The main heroin of this series – even if not always fully visible on the pain­ting – is the painter’s part­ner, Karolina.
