Paweł Ksi? żek is a painter – an analyst. His paintings cannot be traced back to an emotional source, but rather are a result of a process of research. The artist’s strategy relies on the analysis of visual sources as in his previous series of paintings (for example, NN vs. Artists). In Figures the available raw materials (including photographs depicting different phenomena or people coming from visual arts, pop culture, movies or the internet) are collected by the artist. Ksi? żek then, classifies and processes them through the medium of painting. In this way, Ksi? żek directly refers to the methodology developed by Aby Warburg, based on the building of iconographic atlases and their comparative analysis.
