Total Threat, 1980
The painting 'Total Threat' from 1980 presents Jan Dobkowski's maturing concept, where masterful use of line and dynamic form plays an essential role. The work is characterized by a composition based on winding lines that create an expressive and intense representation of the theme, carrying a strong emotional and intellectual charge. Stylistically, the work continues the artist's innovative direction, opposing traditional academic painting and seeking a new quality of expression in linearism and abstraction.
