The paintings from the series The Issue of Office Bacteria enter into a visual dialogue with the aesthetics of leased office space. In the artist’s interpretation, vacant offices—seemingly sterile and neutral—actually pulse with hidden life, generating a vague anxiety. The miniature, replicated modules from which the paintings are constructed combine to form “molecular” chains, creating half abstract compositions and half figurative scenes. Works from this series were presented for the first time at a solo show organized by Polana Institute in the spaces of the Warsaw office centre Sawa Park. The immediate formal inspiration for creation of the richly detailed monochromatic canvases was the aggressive graphic pattern of office carpeting.
