Artist’s Note
The airport is an original and unusual place. Painting pictures for an exhibition there, it would be unwise to ignore, disregard or omit its specificity and purpose. After all, flying, moving, ascending -- this is a man’s ultimate dream.
The painted pictures balance on the border of abstraction. They are minimalist in form and conventional in content. Color stripes suggest space and imitate light. The whole gives the impression of endless space, also the one seen from the window of the plane.
The completed series of 7 works „MOVES” is basically a painterly interpretation of the flight experience. Shifts: light, time and color. Moving, rising — the departure of form and colors.
Minimalist abstract painting by Rafał Kapica from the MOVES series, featuring horizontal gradient bands in warm yellow, deep blue, and lime green.
