TR Warszawa

 Wojciech Gilewicz’s work stands in the borderlands where painting, photography, installation and video meet. A leitmotif winds through his art; the replacement of a fragment of reality with its painted replica and the blurring of the border between the real and the imaginary. The project he created specially for TR Warszawa consists of images and video film presenting the process by which a canvas is born. In confrontation with the film, the outwardly simple, non-figurative painting emerges in a wholly new light. The entire situation ceases to be clear to the viewer, and the border dividing reality and its painted imitator become blurred. Once again, in this work for TR Warszawa Gilewicz is posing a question as to what is true and what is illusory in the world around us. The foyer of Teatr Rozmaitości in Warsaw is a superb site for a Wojciech Gilewicz project, since theatre, like painting and photography, creates an illusion of reality. His work also has much in common with both theatre’s scenery and the world constructed upon the stage, a world which impersonates the real one.
