Dorota Buczkowska

untitled

from the cycle Not All Fragments Are Complete, 2013, oil, canvas, 100 × 80 cm

Dorota Buczkowska’s artwork is full of ambiguities and intriguing painting effects achieved by the artist using assorted bonding agents and diverse brush types, multiple degrees of paint thickness and diverse application sequences, and a dry vs. water-soaked paintbrush. In the piece presented here, the artist explores themes of intimacy and corporeality, present in her earlier works as well. The painting is a rendition of an abstract form, soft and partly transparent. Furry edges obscure the border between the interior and exterior, causing disorientation and suggesting no presence of organs known from any anatomy atlas. The title of the series suggests that the fragment is part of a larger whole.
