HENRYK | IMMERSION
HENRYK.
'Immersion', is a bold expansion of my gestural stroke work, a six-month exploration into the raw elegance of granulated oil on canvas.
Traditionally, artists begin with smooth, commercially prepared paints, but I have always been drawn to pushing boundaries. This time, I sought to honour the process in reverse-embracing restraint while still challenging the limits of oil as a medium.
While my past work has been about bold, un-contained gestures breaking free from the canvas, Immersion refines that energy into something more distilled yet equally powerful. These paintings are not about thick, visceral textures but rather the interplay of movement and control, expressed through granulated washes that hold a quiet intensity. The result is a collection of works that feel both liberated and deliberate-subtle yet commanding in their presence.
IMMERSION
BY HENRYK
Exhibition dates: 1 May - 22 May
OFFICIAL OPENING NIGHT CELEBRATION THURSDAY 1 MAY 6-8PM
There is a tension in these works, a delicate push and pull between the artist’s desire to contain and the medium’s resistance to being confined. These paintings invite the viewer to examine the subtleties within their surface, the way light moves over granulated layers, the shifting rhythms of brushwork, and the weight of silence within each stroke.
The result is a collection of paintings that convey an almost meditative quietude yet are imbued with an undeniable force. The viewer is not overwhelmed by bold, visceral textures: instead, they are drawn in by the quiet confidence of a work that knows its own power without needing to shout.
In “Immersion” Henryk has achieved a rare balance: the works are both liberated and deliberate, subtle
yet commanding. This exhibition is a testament to the artist’s ongoing commitment to pushing boundaries, embracing restraint, honouring process, and challenging the very limits of oil painting itself. Through these works, the artist invites us to experience a quiet yet profound intensity, to immerse ourselves fully in the delicate tension between movement and control.
