Catalogue Note
The offered work incorporates the technique used in the Variations series (1978), where the artist enhances with paint the same black and white postcard of the Baltic coast. Through the combination of photography and painting, two levels of reality, depicted in serial and non-serial media, are in direct competition for supremacy yet interact perfectly in an optical illusion to create a third, unique reality.
