These works made of acrylic lacquer and quartz sand on canvas show two visions of very different worlds. One is open and fresh, with lines—sometimes tangled, sometimes free—dancing or gliding across the picture plane in a lively spontaneous manner. In these works, we see Wisniewska’s free-flowing imagination as she realizes moments of quirky lyricism within still worlds. In such work one recalls the art of the American painter Cy Twombly through which the viewer comes face to face with the daunting complexity of an apparently simple grouping of lines.
The other vision is one of a sheer minimal intensity of color and line trapped within small areas of canvas that seem to overflow with the dynamic of suddenly uncorked emotions. Here there is a more forceful, subtle, and lyrical imagination at work where the keen abstraction achieved slowly draws in the viewer, demanding that these works be seen and felt rather than merely looked at. One is reminded of the quiet of emotion to be found in the work of Agnes Martin.
