- 2012, WIESLAW HALADAJ
-
- WINTER 2012
In his practice in printmaking, Wieslaw Haladaj is interested in the expressive power of the line. The artist‘s compositions are particularly dense and dramatic founded on the dynamics of the diagonals; while being diffused and while being crossed, they express a powerful tension. Of these accumulations of frantic scratches, Haladaj makes emerge dark and intense faces, or of enigmatic contorted bodies,semi-man semi-animal. Darkness towards the light, the artist seeks to reveal the genesis of human psyche, that moment of animal fear where the human being carried out for the first time the vacuity of its transitory existence and the infinity of the mysteries of the universe.

- SPRING 2012
By accomplishing this exhibition project, I hope to explore the notion of ornamentation by combining installation, ceramic and printmaking. By using this multidisciplinary approach, I intend to create an installation where various aesthetics meet and force the viewer to confront simultaneously Western, Japanese and Victorian notions. Firstly, I will create a series of silkscreens, framed by gouache vignettes of cowboys and samurais. Secondly, I will create wallpaper imitating the toile de jouy pattern, only with cowboys. Lastly, I will present ceramics decorated with the same patterns as the wallpaper. The whole of the installation brought together by two main colors, red and black.
