Marcin Jasik, born in 1990 in Warsaw, was a finalist at the STRABAG Artaward International 2022 in Vienna. In his exhibition “Everything is ahead of us, nothing is ahead of us” at the STRABAG Artlounge he shows current non-figurative painting. His works arise from a consistent examination of the history of abstract painting, as well as being the result of his own painterly experiences. In Marcin’s works you might find quotations, some of the forms and materials used are reminiscent of the archaic pictorial compositions of Antoni Tàpies. They refer to the contemporary artist‘s involvement in the history of painting, to his preferences and to similar issues. The almost spartan formal structures of Marcin Jasik‘s paintings are poetic systems that create painterly spaces through shapes, lines, or areas of color. Jasik thus creates pictorial constructs of calm proportions and weightings of shapes and surfaces, with exceptionally sensitively placed color accents. Everything in these paintings seems ephemeral and yet is well thought out. Andreas Hoffer
