Description

Analysis of the work of Feliks Podsiadły, a forgotten artist. An attempt to answer questions about the context of the works, their meaning and materials used. In the case of contemporary art objects, the relationship between matter and meaning is usually ambiguous and non-obvious. The meanings are individual for individual artists as well as for the materials used. Defining the message of a work becomes a complex task as various factors influence the meaning of a work. In addition to the matter itself and the direct artistic vision, the non-material aspects often also have an influence. Therefore, in order to understand the author’s assumption – the possibility of an interview with the artist becomes the primary source of reference.
