Jacek Rudnicki

Born in Warsaw, Poland, the artistic world of Jacek Rudnicki captures the chaos and fragments of life where moments of clarity are fleeting. His work reflects the ever-changing nature of existence, where experiences scatter around the edges of life while being drawn to a central point.

Rudnicki's art embodies his philosophy, exploring the interplay between the ordinary, the strange, and the familiar. His paintings create a two-way conversation between the artist and the viewer, sparking emotional responses and deeper understanding.

Rudnicki aims to infuse his paintings with emotion, encouraging viewers to engage personally with his work and find their meaning. "My goal is to charge my paintings with emotions," he says.

Artist statement: "The idea of thresholds has permeated all of my work for over a decade. By threshold I am referring specifically to a state of uncertainty / possibility which comes from the act of abstract painting. A nexus is to me, a threshold that not only implies an inside and an outside, a universal truth, but also a point of intersecting forces. I find this to be an astounding concept that a nexus is both a beginning and an end for the variables involved. In respect to the paintings, I feel that the viewer completes each work by bringing their perception into the nexus."
