Wazony. Robert Maciejuk. Morava Books.
Robert Maciejuk is a painter. As a painter, he is sensitive to the colour and texture of paint. He is a painter with a rare sense of humour and, an even greater rarity, an awareness of his skill. Robert Maciejuk knows how to paint and it is his intuition which leads him to the subject of his painting. Still, Robert Maciejuk is no potter and in the world of ceramics he fumbles about in the dark, making the mistakes all beginners make. Yet it is, in fact, a series of ceramics and vases that appear to be the protagonists of a meticulously designed portfolio. Why ceramics, then? Is it really all about ceramics? The precise compositions made up of groups of vases invoke associations with the still-life oeuvre of masters from the Netherlands and Spain. The colours of the objects, the garish yellow background of a wall, the cold tiles and the earth-tone vases might have served as basic motifs for any of the Colourists or Capists. The form of a publication is the perfect framework for a series of photographs of such objects as what counts most for the artist is a memorable image captured on paper. After all, Robert Maciejuk is only, and as much as, a painter.

BUS. Uri Aran. Morava Books.
The works of New York based artist Uri Aran take on the character of a many-layered collection of poems. Uri’s drawing technique is based on the precise repetition of a particular series of gestures: drawing-scanning-printing. The book “BUS” is simply the next phase in reproducing the “original”. Uri’s first artbook is full of images, but really it traces the “poetry of the road”.
As we open the book, hopping on the “BUS and settling into a seat in the back, the reader starts to take note of the images and messages that appear, observing from a distance. Heroes come and go, we hear fragments of private stories and bits of news from around the world. At every stop, absurd situations take place at a regular pace, but eventually the initial chaos is ordered into a multitude of meanings.
Echo Park. Agnieszka Grodzińska. Morava Books.
Agnieszki Grodzińska’s latest book is a subjective research book of sorts, containing visual references that, to a greater or less degree, pertain to the broad concept of Abstract Painting, with an emphasis on the AbEx – Abstract Expressionism – phenomenon in the U.S. In five colour-coded chapters, she puts her materials in a certain order, making note of connections and themes made apparent among the photographs and reproductions. In the process, she unmasks details of who might have borrowed what from whom. The reader strolls Grodzińska’s „Echo Park” as through a museum, where all background details have been removed and all that remains are the paintings themselves. His or her sense of bewilderment compounded perhaps by the thought echoing within the subconscious: are THESE the original paintings or mere copies? An integral part of the book is made up of three short stories by Anna Miczko on a particular painting / reproduction of the painting / ruminations on the painting.
