Composition with the Sun online
Ewa Doroszenko’s project implemented in 2020 during lockdown consisting of a series of graphic works.
The project by Ewa Doroszenko refers to the work entitled „Composition with the Sun” by Marian Bogusz, an outstanding artist of the Polish avant-garde, which is in the collection of the National Museum in Warsaw. Inspired by the works of Bogusz and other artists presented at the First Exhibition of Modern Art in 1948-49 at the Krakow Palace of Art, Ewa Doroszenko creates a series of graphic works stylistically related to the trends that dominated the exhibition – geometric abstraction and the surrealist-metaphorical trend.
Analyzing the possibilities of translating the formal layer of selected works into the language of digital art, Ewa Doroszenko experiments with new technologies trying to develop a new kind of expression. Radical computer processing and the subtle use of colours make Doroszenko’s compositions look like abstract paintings. As a professional painter (in 2012 she received her PhD in painting at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń) she deals with „digital painting” revealing the authentic character of the file as a collection of pixel data. Confronting the universal values of Polish avant-garde art with digital media, she combines several complex graphic techniques using Internet sources.
