Andrzej Zieliński "Seven Screens"
DCKT Contemporary
This event has ended.
DCKT Contemporary presents Andrzej Zieliński’s "Seven Screens," his second solo show with the gallery. On view are paintings of five Automated Teller Machines and two broken laptop computers. Zieliński uses the medium of painting to explore the technology of communication and to beckon the viewer to interface with feral colors, wonky buttons and tractor-beaming screens.
The color cacophony of Zieliński’s eccentric reverse engineering of Albers’s color theories is a visual jolt. His color palette includes the use of interference pigments and saturated bright hues that are at odds with the staid grays and cold reflective metals of the actual machines. He connects the painted machines to the real world by using a 1 to 1 scale ratio with the actual subjects. Zieliński’s work goes from the shock of the unknown to humor and back again.
