'Little Ruin'

Andrzej Nowicki at Whatiftheworld / Gallery

Andrzej Nowicki presents a new solo exhibition titled Little Ruin, on the gallery's first floor exhibition space. This show will run concurrently with the exhibition in the main gallery space downstairs by Renée Holleman.
 
Drawing on his carefully considered archive of photographs, Nowicki uses both found and auto biographical images as a point of departure in this body of work, blurring the boundary’s between personal history and invented narrative.

Often surreal and otherworldly, Nowicki’s watercolors and collages are inspired by the effect of time on memory, and its ability to obscure certain details whilst revealing and even constructing others. The merging of the past and present, the real and the imagined are recurring themes that are explored through his use of personal symbolism.
