Every Exit Is An Entrance

SIGNED COPY.

Wajdowicz’s images are created through the lens, without computer enhancements, leaving the literal behind as color, light, and form that are carefully shaped to near or absolute abstraction. As a result, the viewer may experience a poem, a piece of music, or a vision, defined not only by what the artist reveals, but by what we ourselves discover in his work. Indeed, his works actively negotiate the space between photography and painting, as the intimacy and minimalism of each piece gives one the strong sense that the colors and shapes have been applied directly by the artist’s own hand.  —Excerpt from the Jurek Wajdowicz: Every exit is an entrance exhibition catalogue, at Nailya Alexander Gallery.
