Penetration of Space with Raised Areas (…), 1975
The painting titled 'Penetration of Space with Raised Areas (…)' was created in 1975 and is one of Ryszard Winiarski's most impressive works. Executed in acrylic on a panel format of 100x100 cm with a depth of 10 cm. The painting features a complex composition and the presence of convex reliefs of varying surface and height arranged vertically. The central rhythm of the painting is disrupted by dominant black dots which, together with the random arrangement of colors resulting from a dice throw, create a logical and harmonious system. The work represents the artist's mathematical-mystical theory of painting and his approach to art as a process of controlled random play and order.

Internal Narrative and Creative Framework
-
Inner Narrative
The painting is a mathematically programmed composition where elements of randomness (dice throw) harmonize with geometric order. The work avoids expressiveness in favor of precision and rational visual experience.
The key to interpreting the work
Interpretation of the work should focus on the relationship between order and chance, on the analysis of the play of light, space, and reliefs, and on the symbolic significance of mathematical-statistical mechanisms in art.Auction information
