Ververs Gallery, Amsterdam
Solo, new works. The theme of expressing the daily life experiences are expanded. Borkowski's new works are more possitive and protective.
Dominik Borkowski is a regular guest artist. In 2011 he had his first solo exhibition in VERVERS gallery and in 2012 his work was part of several groupshows.
2013 | The theme of expressing the daily life experiences are expanded. His new works are more possitive and protective. Becoming a father made him both conscience and concerned about the vulnarability of life.
2011 | The young Polish painter Dominik Borkowski paints portraits which are usually very minimalistic, set up in a gray, black and white palette. The individual and biographical characteristics are obliterated. Instead of showing the complexity of the human psyche, the portrait canon is used to show the emptiness.
The motifs with childlike imagery and the comic book-like elements are in contrast with the weight of his experience and the pessimism of the message. It reads more like a commentary on contemporary society and a fascination with apparent imperfection. Borkowski reports on the emotional experience of reality and everyday life. -Walking with his dog Velvet, fishing, working in his atelier. (text Angeliek Ververs)
