Eugene Knapik - Shapeworks
"At some point after my
last exhibition, I began to feel I had reached a
kind of cul-de-sac in the studio. That vague feeling
of restlessness about my painting did not come with
a blueprint for the future, just a desire to change
my way of thinking about image-making. One day I
came across a wooden 5 in a junk store which quickly
became the work called Slant 5. I enjoyed its
boldness and starkness, and the way it broke out of
the expected picture plane. Slant 5 stopped me in my
tracks and prompted me to question all sorts of
assumptions I had about image making. The work in
this exhibition is the result of that questioning.
