Tomasz Chudzik looks for inspiration in nature, his peculiar model and point of departure. Choosing its intriguing elements, he does not only point out to their validity but also shows how they can be creatively transposed into a language of image (…) Transforming nature, he relies on his proficiency as a printmaker, painter and draughtsman and the world thus created is perplexing for its shape and disturbing for its mood of understatement far from being descriptive, he often careens between abstraction and figuration, adding new meaning to shapes. This is to convince us that in art the line between the concrete and real, and the imaginary and illusory takes quite unexpected routes.
