As well as new questions and new attitudes towards artistry. But here I wish to pause. Just as Martin Jan Ogrodnik is. It is my indubitable right to pause at an art that still reaches me. An art that still breathes and makes my cheek warm and full of blood and life.
Every day is new.
As every second. Every day and every second give birth to new sensations and decisions, new adventures and new agonies. But Man lives only for a fraction of a second and his entity sees nothing but threat, love, fear and tenderness. This the painter Martin Jan Ogrodnik seems to know. It is about these seconds of life, failures, hesitation, humility and joie de vivre that he composes into images.
