After 6 Months Of Daily Meditation I Created A Series Of Oil Paintings | Anita Kucharczyk

‘Modular’ (2020) is a series of paintings in which I study the interdependence of attributes; color to color, shape to shape, form to form. I contrast distant perfection and immediate imperfection–mechanical precision and human error, sharpness and blurriness. Colors rhythmically form a spectrum, as if pulsating.

The pieces are designed as individual modules that can be arranged in numerous ways: together or apart, rotated or mirrored, mixed or matched. Uniform color palettes, forms and dimensions enable a multitude of exhibition layouts.

Over a six-month period each canvas was covered with dozens of thin layers of oil paint, egg yolk and wax. This slow yet methodical process eventually built the colors up into exquisitely vibrant gradations.

The minimalist character and consistency of the series enables the viewer to meditate–undistracted–on its essential nature, maximizing the intensity and strength of their experience. The simpler and the clearer the form is, the greater and deeper the impact it has. I want the viewer to feel once, but look twice.
