Janusz Wrobel - An Aqueous State – Exhibition at Burlington Art Gallery 2016/2017

An Aqueous State exhibition, Art Gallery of Burlington, 2014-15.

The choices we make within the relationships we have, shape the conditions of our lives. And the choices once given, like my growing up behind the Iron Curtain with two spheres of Truth. The official one, and the one widely accepted. It became my lifelong fixation to sort them all out.

In my work, I reflect on how two realms interact: the biophysical world and that of organized modern human populations. The former developed over billions of years, gradually perfecting its adaptive mechanisms to cope with changing Earth conditions. The latter, in its short self-recorded history, has evidently aspired to challenge the capacity limits inherent to both worlds.

I see the function of Arts and Sciences in human cultures as helping us understand our world better. I chose the medium that mirrors reality. Therefore, I apply what I know about subjects I see, then use my skills to elevate what I deem important to convey in my work. To be credible, I identify relationships before I frame them with my camera. It must also fit the framework of my working projects. With my focus on processes, incorporating the basic parts of science is unavoidable.

As a content creator, I am defined by my choice of subjects, how I portray them, the tools I use, and my relationship with all the above. And how it all relates to viewers' interests, sensitivities, and their relationships with the subjects of my work. I interpret creativity as an ability to connect data points that brings to reality, and as a record in the social consciousness, subjects, or notions of accepted credibility and values. To happen, I must rely on accessibility channels in our culture. And on the status of creations in the public consciousness, reflected in the ways of supporting them.

I advanced in my work by stimulating my curiosity. The rapid changes in our modern world are an endless source of inspiration. Captivated by the contradictions inherent in the human psyche and motivated by the visible crisis that puts at risk all Life’s natural processes. I still hope that their beauty, often hidden in plain sight, can sprout with meanings to live in beholders’ open minds.

In my age, defining what truth is became unavoidable. Familiar with various outcomes of what it was supposed to be, I see maturity as an obligation.
