This is ‘Clinamen’, by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot (it’s an installation artwork). I got to see it in person and it’s stayed with me since.

“When I first saw the original painting, I began to do some research on that little boy. I could find everything I wanted about every other detail in the painting, but there was nothing about him. No history. And so I wanted to find a way to imagine a life for this young man that the historical painting had never made space for in the composition: his desires, dreams, family, thoughts, hopes. Those things were never subjects that the original artist wanted the viewer to contemplate. In order to reframe the discussion, I decided to physically take action to quiet [and crumple] the side of the painting that we’ve been talking about for a very long time and turn up the volume on this kid’s story. And that’s the reason why I started that painting.” Via Artnet News 2019/03/27

Betonu Panorama: Poznań acrylic and paper on canvas, 40x30cm, fist installment of the series

Asked around my neighbourhood what buildings in the city people consider the ugliest. Hopped on a bike and took pictures of all of them. Combined into a collage of dirt and concrete.

Part of the Beton (Concrete) block of my art, that explores the post-soviet architecture's place in polish culture.
