Artwork Description

Elizabeth Wojciak’s Reminiscence is a series of mixed media paintings with combination of figurative elements, abstraction and texture. Through this media variation Wojciak aims to create a structure that is charged, interesting and conveys feelings of intimacy, longings and ambiguities of things unspoken, forgotten. Wojciak’s works are best known for her female figures, often dominating the composition. Some of the figures are venerable in their nakedness other boldly present theirs in complete acceptance.
Wojciak’s visual language is unique to each painting, concerned with mood, content and combination of expressionistic brushwork, line and exaggerated shapes and shadows. She paints with acrylic paint in a spontaneous way, mowing back and forth across painting surface Her creative process is largely intuitive and through referencing to the figure she allows the painting to lead her and respond to the marks on the canvas. She works vigorously with the confidence constantly re-evaluating colour, form and composition.

Artist Bio

My practice is informed by ideas of abstraction and figuration, it is an exploration of physicality of paint and the act of ‘doing’. The process is the one that embraces accident and ambiguity. I want my paintings to describe a feeling, evoke a response or excite the viewer’s imagination. This body of work is also a reinterpretation of the everyday or ordinary object and subject; young girls busy with the mobile phone, people at the beach etc. Obscured and faceless imagery of the subjects are confronting and mysterious.
The work is inbuilt with layers of symbolic imagery open to the interpretation of the viewer. I reference images from textbooks, magazines and the internet as a base to capture fleeting moments encountered in everyday life. I want my paintings to be a vehicle to reflect upon what it is to be human, seeking connections, testing resilience, acknowledging frailties.
