Janusz Tyrpak 2003 - 2006 TracEs

» Tyrpak is a master in the art of suggestion. Pictures show, or represent figures in movement, but the figures are only slightly suggested. Browsing the picture, your eye only catches a foot or a leg and from this you can imagine the rest. Peter Michael Hornung

» It is in fact rewarding that we are let into Tyrpak’s painting at a moment where things are supposed to be clear and predictable, but instead our very judgement is challenged. Alex Steen

» He treats the picture format in a very arrogant way using odd angles everywhere, as well as strong almost luminous colours. But lo and behold! He’s got strength and will power to master the forces he releases.. Eva Blomquist

» He forces the viewer into a very personal interpretation and absorption of his sensitive and gentle work, succesfully using his art as a vehicle for the viewer’s emotions. Kristian Bergholt

» Tyrpak’s pictures are a kind of universalism, without truly fitting into a certain tradition. They are powerful – sometimes demonic – sometimes humorous – almost overwhelming. He moves around the very perimeter of the pallet of life and you are never really sure what comes next. Jens Pedersen

» Some of Tyrpaks work has received the title ECO, which can mean ”resound” or ”echo” and that is exactly what these paintings do to you – put all your senses into movement. Each piece of art has a date and time on it – not only the date – but also a symbol for the movement of time. Time is never static – time is endlessness – his pictures are infinite. Inge-Lis Fuhlskov

» He has aimed at utilizing a new kind of language in order to compose the picture, experimenting with modern techniques and new structures in which we find a battle between the abstract and the figurative. Ann Christine Foverskov

» JANUSZ TYRPAK “deserted” from a normal (boring?) world, and has done it in an authentic and charming way! His motifs are courageous, drastic and at the same time very detailed. They provoke deep discussion about the meaning of art,

as well its use... This is not modern, yet universal and almost ”comical” art.

Grzegorz Wroblewski
