Wojciech ChechliDski builds oil paintings from thickly laid paint and fragmented visions of the world. Every vibrant mark on the canvas gives his paintings energy. Wide brush strokes and impasto combine with striking colors to convey ChechliDski's uninhibited emotion when he paints. His work references cubism,Wojciech Chechliński’s Expressive Oil Paintings  Articles placing figures into scenes where they are distorted into blurring shapes and sharp, substantial cells of pigment. With each image ChechliDski embarks on an adventure and invites viewers to explore the work in their own way. The rapid strokes and layers of paint in each piece add a level of spontaneity which works against the strict lines that cut through each composition.  In some places the black lines dissolve and resolve into veins over the entire canvas, asserting and complicating facial features as they bulge and pinch. Differences in value and hue divide each composition into larger components, lending unexpected order to the lively paintings. 

ChechliDski lives and works in Warsaw. In his work, he spins the reflective nature of the human face into images that represent the psychology of subjects, both real and imagined.

About the Exhibition

Elemental Realms

Agora Gallery presents a modern exploration of texture with the new collective exhibition Elemental Realms. This exhibition covers both abstraction and figurative imagery and includes purely visual surfaces as well as more three-dimensional mixed-media pieces that resemble friezes. Several artists play with paint; it is blotted, it is thinned, it is slicked down, and dry paint is even cracked to create deep shadows. Wrapped up too in these physical manipulations is the way colors blend into one another - or don't. Elsewhere, one artist mixes acrylic with explosions of gold leaf to create a new sub-genre of painting, and another splatters thin ropes of paint in endless layers in a kind of two-dimensional scaffolding. Elemental Realms investigates the ways in which texture conveys information, emotion, and environment
