Charcoal on paper
Véronique is
part of the “Body” series that was started in 2017. Hyperrealistically, it
shows anonymous but unique backs singled out by the most infinitesimal details:
marks left by clothing, hair, scars, moles… No one can see their own back:
keeping its image is choosing mystery, the unknown, absence. Drawn after a
photograph freezing a moment in time, this artwork is made with charcoal,
chosen for its emotional dimension: it represents tangibly the passage of time,
the nostalgia for a specific instant. Translating a digital photograph into a
drawing allows Katarzyna Wiesiolek to reveal a personal history. It gives it a
shade of indefinite that leaves room for the viewer’s subjectivity.
