poster for Jacek Maczynski ”Bathhouse”

This event has ended.

Jacek Maczynski, a Polish-born artist responds in his work to the cultural diversity of New York City, his adoptive home. Interest in Asian calligraphy has led him to experiment with the pictorial idioms and to establish a cross-cultural artistic dialog through translating meditative experience of religious contemplation of Catholicism into spiritual exercise of Zen Buddhism. With contemporary and urban style to his works, this is how he described origins of his inspiration:

Using an egg tempera and oil in monochromatic manner I make a reference to sacral art of medieval Europe as well as to Asian calligraphy and its meditative ascetic quality of Zen. Taking upon vocabulary of geometric motifs of abstraction of minimal art (I consider minimalism the most profound of artistic movements in contemporary art), I bring these three forms of spiritual utterance together to create a cross-cultural meditative pictorial language that evokes a concept of sacrum in Western and Eastern tradition.
