Jerzy Brukwicki: Till lately, the problem of evil and violence, the persecuted victim, has been the most vital topic of the art by Sylwester Ambroziak who marked his debut in the late 80\u2019s of the previous century, graduating from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. His monumental sculptures in wood, and small size works in bronze, aluminum and wax ( \u201cSt. Anthon\u2019s Temptation\u201d, \u201cAdam and Eve\u201d, \u201cIsaac\u2019s Victim\u201d, \u201cStephen\u201d, \u201cPolish Ubermensch\u201d, \u201cPolish Rider\u201d, a series of \u201cMadonna Holding Christ\u2019s Dead Body\u201d, \u201cCrying Women\u201d) \u2013 inspired not only with the Old and New Testament motives, but also with the Polish everyday reality of the late 80\u2019s and early 90\u2019s \u2013 tell about man enslaving man, about aggression and humiliation, pain and suffering, about the trivial and haphazard of human life. These specific parables on our fate, on the entangled, complex humanity still evoke emotions and subsequent interpretations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the time passing, the artist has been more and more concerned with an answer to the question about the essence of goodness and the need to help fellow men. The latest artistic search by Ambroziak has revealed the rules of the world meeting human expectations and the aspirations to illustrate deeply human gestures and acts. The standing stock still sculptures of the series: \u201cA Man and a Woman\u201d, \u201cA Man Carrying a Woman\u201d, \u201cEverything Most Important, Everything Most Beautiful\u201d, unveil \u2013 behind a hidden grotesque mask of the deformed, larger than human dimensions, or miniature figures – a kind attitude and gentleness, the need for love, tenderness and brotherhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
