 My current body of work is in part a response to a patriarchal structure and a dominating power system that has survived generations of political protests and the fight for equality.

JEZAK, PAWEL

Location, ST

Pawel Jezak is a Polish-native artist living and working from my home studio in Co. Meath, Ireland. "Throughout my life I have always been fascinated by images and how the world is seen through the eyes of others. As a result, in my teenage years I started drawing my own interpretation of the world surrounding me. Although the nature of my work varies from time to time, it almost always involves paper as a canvas. These canvases are made from a collage of newspaper articles placed together to create a truly unique background on which I can draw or paint in ink or acrylics. Part of the artistic process involves browsing through newspapers in order to find articles that would suit the finished piece. I draw inspiration from many sources; however, the most powerful images that trigger my imagination are black and white photographs. I believe that each piece of art should tell a story or be part of one."

“Black and white ink painting made on a collage of English language newspaper articles placed together to create a truly unique background. Part of the artistic process involves browsing through journal in search for articles that would suit the finished piece. Each collage is one of a kind as miscellaneous articles coming from different newspapers serve as background.”

“Reading words is one way for people to explore the world in their minds, but I prefer to portray it through my drawings.”

“Imagine the excitement of a woman embarking on her very first ride on a Vespa scooter. With a sense of adventure and a touch of nervousness, she eagerly hops on, ready to experience the thrill of the open road. This drawing captures the essence of this exhilarating moment, showcasing her bravery and the joy that awaits her.”
