The painting ‘Penetration of Real Space’ from 1974 is a work created using acrylic on board measuring 52 x 52 cm. Signed on the back: Winiarski 1974. The work fits into Winiarski’s artistic concept combining order and chance, operating on the square – a constant artist’s module. The painting is characterized by geometric precision, devoid of emotional expression, and the meaning of the work can be interpreted through rational and logical mechanisms inspired by probability theory and games of chance.

geometric abstraction, conceptualism, game of chance, mathematical painting
The painting realizes the idea of a visual representation of statistical arrangements and the application of random variables such as dice roll, where order and chance merge into a harmonious whole.
The basis of interpretation is understanding the work as a demonstration of the creative process based on precise, mathematical approach excluding the artist’s subjective emotions.
