Uprising - Art Video for Robert Kupisz, Warsaw

Some stills from my art video collaboration with Matthew Miles. Our video was projected on a large screen for the runway show of designer Robert Kupisz in Warsaw.The video - and the sharp but subtle collection by Robert Kupisz - drew inspiration from the young heroes and heroines of the Warsaw Uprising in World War II.

BoM III, oil painting

Konrad Wyrebek, BoM III 2010, oil on canvas 75 x 70 cm / 29.5 x 27.6 inches

From the “Beauty in Petrol” series, BoM III takes as its starting point a fashion photograph of a model posed as young business man.
A surface glance suggests a male riding high in a society that celebrates youth, beauty and style. But there’s a sadness beneath the Photoshop-bought lifestyle; in the eyes that flirt and ask for approval – that can only experience happiness with the validation of our gaze.
The heaving, vigorously painted deformations take this unease further; tug it into ill twists. There’s a link here to the ectoplasm of Victorian era séance photography; the suggestion that the youth’s spirit has been over-powered; corrupted.

PlayPray I

Konard Wyrebek, 'PlayPray', 80x80cm 31,5x31,5in oil painting

'PlayPray', 2010, oil on canvas, 80 x 80 cm / 31.5 x 31.5 inches
The position and shape of the human figure in this painting - part of
the series "Young Slaves" - is intended to provoke possibilities.
The body type is ambiguous, might be male or female; a state of flux
and confusion that places the viewer in an uncertain place.
Furthermore, the pose suggests a readying to pounce on prey, yet it is
simultaneously a shape of submission.
There is an edge of neon night-time to the violet marks highlighting
areas of the figure. Here the spot-lights of a city strip club are
homed in on the skin; targets where pain and pleasure are easily
swapped.

Few new circular gradient paintings, an abstract represenation of ideas, targets and aims



Konrad Wyrebek, ‘Five Target Rings Circle5’, oil and acrylic painting on canvas, 100 x 100 cm and 120 x 120 cm

quote from Saatchi Gallery Magazine interview:
”(…) Many of the works, including the new circular paintings, feature hyper-bright colours. These are deployed in a kind of gradient painting technique, so they blend into each other in a very light way. Why do you choose this technique?

For me these fantastical colours represent an idealised world – a world of dreams and ideas and of ambitions. They reflect the targets that all of us have and aim to achieve or reach . But I think it’s important that they’re faded into each other. The borders and edges are elusive, never far from flux. What you aim for can quickly become somewhere else. (…)”
