Andrew Ciolek, Dialogues 109 vs 109

oil, canvas, 95x85 cm, 2023

Artwork description:

In a symbolic way, the author is trying to persuade a dialogue between people who, as a matter of course, are completely different from each other.... despite the common opinion of all equality.... We are different. Let's not be afraid of dialogues. On the one hand, a manifesto, on the other hand, an attempt to reach out to tie characters/tongues. Are actually specific characters stuck in the fan of social hierarchy? And can it be looked at objectively?
