Einstein claimed that imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited, while imagination knows no bounds. The same applies to the work of Dobiesław Gała, the artist and master from Krakow who in less than five years has conquered the global art market in the discipline of contemporary sculpture.

​

The reliefs he successfully creates are sophisticated hybrids of drawing and sculpture, the realization of artistic ideas on phenomena that occur both in the external material world and in the more personal one, which unfold individually in the human consciousness. Both are subject to continuous changes and destructions. On one hand, it is the effect of conscious human action, and on the other, time.

​

What does the Artist want to communicate to the contemporary viewer? Well, a lot. Both through the subject and through the unusual form of representation itself. Dobiesław Gała is able to skillfully show these phenomena by giving them the form of a multidimensional relief, seemingly frozen, that strikes with a riot of colors. Every centimeter of the performance constitutes a separate space in which the subsequent processes take place.

​

 Dobiesław Gała's works presented in Venice carry a profound ecological message and are a response to the processes that occur in the world and in human consciousness. They warn against the effects of destructive human activity and using a perfectly developed form, whose effect is a well-conceived visual composition, they communicate the scale of environmental degradation, which, due to irresponsible human activity, is slowly turning into frozen structures.

​

Zone 79, Disintegrated Fluidity, Poles of Inaccessibility, Information Structures, Epicenters, Circles of Time and Events, Landing Sites, Rivers of Information, Disappeared Traces of Events, Dark Side of the Moon, Frozen Steel Rivers are the titles of the works that will be presented at the Venice exhibition. They are also artistic interpretations of processes and phenomena, shrouded in mystery and in many cases functioning in the social imagination as a myth.

​

Despite such a catastrophic view, Dobiesław Gała introduces an element of hope derived from the enormous regenerative power of nature, so that this process can not only be reversed but also stopped at a certain point. Hence the intensity of the blue-green color (pigment) and its enhancement with light, as well as the use of other artistic methods (lighting fragments of works), aimed at enhancing the depth effect in which the subsequent structures are revealed.

​

He achieves this goal by using the right mix of media. Dobiesław Gała has given his thoughts the guise of a relief, a sculptural form seemingly frozen that comes to life differently each time, endlessly constructing new worlds that every recipient can interpret freely. Only imagination reaches them.
