Polska Poland

Poland built a reputation for posters in the 1950s and 1960s, and some of the best theatre posters I have seen were made here in Lublin in the 1990s and naughties. Many of my images are rather like posters, and I see this image as moving a step closer to poster art.

It seems such an alien process for people to use what is around them, the focus of society, education and business is 'a special tool or product for each individual purpose'. This image shows 2 plates and a bowl on a table, and while I could have drawn the lot from scratch it would have ignored one of the uses of a camera - to capture variations in light and shadows.

I am working on another version of this image, with a bigger roundel shape. I am hoping that someone will appreciate an RAF roundel type image that is not the standard type of image found with these things.

The Coffee Cup

In many ways I prefer abstracts simply because realistic art can be a series of traps where only certain expected types of image are popular, rather like what you would find typically on a photographers website like where the above image is hosted. By making an abstract it kind of frees the viewer somewhat from the need to decide whether the image fits a pre-determined category. Of course, whether someone likes and image or not is another question altogether.
