No / Radiant Trinity

Marcin Paprota Marton _It’s not Marvel. Radiant Trinity – transformation. (diptych)_

oil, paint spray on canvas _ 100x200cm_2023

In the diptych, personified biohazard, radioactivity and toxicity re-modify nature. At first glance, they look like superheroes from Marvel movies. The world order is being re-created, the change continues. The Radiant Trinity penetrates us through food, air, and water. Radioactivity redefines the perfect absolute. Scraps of green turn into glowing, fluorescent colors. The biological-toxic-radioactive creative process takes place in ritual gestures with the addition of blood and bones.

No / Stupidity

                      Marcin Paprota Marton_Fake nature_oil on canvas and paint spray_100x100cm_2021

Is it more important to quench your thirst with bubble, brown, sugar water than to take care of your immediate surroundings? Millions of tons of plastic waste a year. Coca-Cola is the world’s largest junk leader. The artist cites an audit carried out by the Break Free From Plastic organization. It is also a question about which direction we want to go. The artist comments on the behavior of many people who don’t even have the simple habit of throwing their rubbish into the bin. He considers it a symptom of stupidity. 

For those who can say “NO!” firmly and wisely.

Yes / Freedom

Marcin Paprota / Apostasy /100×100 cm / oil on canvas / Dungarvan / Ireland / 2020 

The artist presents apostasy as a withdrawal, freeing himself from what religious institutionalism imposes. He does not want to be part of a religion that has contributed in the past to harming, murdering others in the name of God. The painting is full of expression, but also peace, solace, acceptance of the choice made, a sense of consent with one’s own feelings.

The band is from Manchester, England: pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Black, drummer Rob Turner. They mesmerize with perfection, interesting arrangements that combine elements of electronic, classical, jazz, rock, trip-hop music. Get carried away… because it’s WORTH it.

Marcin Paprota / Flesh 1 /100×100 cm / oil on canvas / Dungarvan / Ireland

“(…) meatiness is associated with a complete unveiling of the experience, because it is a certain attitude in which we accept a world without cover, one could say: without skin. We allow impressions to sink into us as deeply as they themselves can collapse without encountering any opposition or resistance on our part.” Jolanta Brach-Czaina “Cracks in existence”

A documentary about real human nature, about how the media distorts the view of reality. The Internet is a huge information dump where you can find both valuable images and smelly, musty digital waste.

“Two options – “ignore” or “delete” – are not the answer to the complexity of the modern world.”

“Should people on the one hand of the world decide on content specific to the cultural context of another region?”

“(…) social media has long ceased to be just entertainment.” – says directors Hans Block and Moritz Riesewieck. Recommend !!!

Yes / Sadness as a background for reflection

Sadness as one of the basic emotions is the background for reflection, sensitization and self-insight. May this detention be the result of strengthening our sense of love. (Marcin Paprota)

Marcin Paprota / Wounded faun / 100x100cm / oil on canvas / Dungarvan / Ireland

(…) helplessness, embarrassment, downed girl’s head, immobilization in a cobweb of unexepared gestures. Who is called to exist? A copy of a character living somewhere, a reflection of a photo, an artist’s fantasy or a creation of being a pop culture? (Baroness)
