Double Circle IV, 1962
The painting presents Jan Berdyszak's innovative approach to the integral format, where the image is not limited to the canvas surface but interacts with its surroundings. The composition features two circles connected by a vertical element that unites them both coloristically and formally. The painting shows dynamic relationships between forms – the circles may attract or repel each other, merge, or break apart. This work explores the theme of space as an element opening to the environment, breaking traditional painting boundaries.

Inner Narrative
The 'Double Circles' cycle symbolizes the confrontation and coexistence of form and void, between the visible and invisible, as well as the relationship of the painting with its space and surroundings.
The key to interpreting the work
Observe the mutual relationships – attraction, repulsion, penetration between the circles, become intrigued by the space beyond the canvas and its influence on the perception of the work.Auction information
