OB.CCCLIX, 1976
The painting “Ob.CCCLIX” from 1976 is a work by Stefan Gierowski executed in oil on canvas measuring 110×110 cm. The work exemplifies the artist’s exploration of autonomous abstraction, where line, color, light, and space play a dominant role. The painting is characterized by a rigorous division of the canvas and dynamism introduced by strong contrast of color patches. White, used as an element of light, serves as a carrier of spiritual values, connecting material and spiritual elements in the painterly matter.
