Piotr Janas

This is the accompanying book to the 2012 Exhibition: In our Upper Galleries, the ICA presents the first London solo exhibition by Warsaw-based artist Piotr Janas. Janas presents amoebic forms recalling organs, bodily fluids and various body parts that contrast with hard-edged machine-like mechanisms that seemingly puncture and wound. Fleshy pinks and reds associated with living organisms are juxtaposed with violent brushstrokes. Each painting evokes the actions of scratching, pulling and prodding, creating a sense of depth as one representational element penetrates another. Organic forms taper into talons as they scrape against the walls of their own interior. Mixing the imagery of Constructivism, Francis Bacon and Paul Thek, these dark invocations are ultimately indebted to the language of surrealism.
