The painting "Double Circle V" is a work from the "Double Circles" series, in which Jan Berdyszak used cut and joined forms of circles and semicircles to create vertical arrangements. The color compositions determine the mutual relationship of the forms – they can attract, repel, merge into each other, or disintegrate. The artist broke the traditional painting format, creating spatial paintings whose content is inextricably linked to the surroundings. The work reflects an analytical approach and consistency in realizing the concept of space and the relationship between the painting and the space around it.
