Oil, canvas; dimensions: 105 x 105 cm. Work from the collection of the artist's family.
The artist, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, later a member of the "Wrocław Group," was associated with the Visual Arts School Complex in Wrocław from 1952 to 1981.
Woznowski's work can be stylistically situated in the surrealism trend. The artist often depicted on his monumental canvases apocalyptic visions from the borderline of dream and java, in which a cosmic force annihilates the achievements of European civilization. In the Artistic Review of 1963, we read about his paintings: "Z. Woznowski creates more and more new arrangements from the forms of some insects, larvae and ants. He gathers them, scatters them, inscribes them into himself (...). His paintings, usually woven in a warm faded or intensifying color range, resemble old carpets of the East or medieval enamels."
