Still Life in White and Gold with Avocados

A number of objects are covered in monochromic paint and arranged to mimic a classical memento mori. The process renders them visually equal, creating a primal, intuitive scene devoid of arbitrary learned judgments and aspire to evoke a kind of reflective state of mind in viewers.

About Artist

Art Golacki

A multidisciplinary artist working with traditional mediums as well as photography and digital processing, Art Golacki was born in Wroclaw, Poland where he also accomplished a Master Degree in Fine Arts. Since being granted a British citizenship in 2006 he lives and works in United Kingdom, currently in Millport, Scotland. A great adherent of buddhist philosophy, Art believes that through inherited or taught pattern of constant judging and labelling we are unintentionally preventing ourselves from seeing primordial, empty nature of everything. His work is an ongoing inquiry into whether it is possible to share the unanswerable questions through the intuitive artistic narrative.  Art prefers to follow the clarity of vision rather than cultivating consistent visual style, a sort of sophisticated trap, as he see it, leading to perhaps recognition and commercial success but also able to corrupt and limit the true creativity.
