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.

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.

The painting is full of expression, but also peace, solace, acceptance of the choice made, a sense of consent with one’s own feelings.

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”

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

Conversation

A frank, enriching, developing meeting with another man. Exchange of
experiences, curiosity, sharing. The spectrum of emotions. A sense of
closeness, distance and balance. Body language, gestures, looks
