Well-known for his audio-performative activities, in which he undertakes social analysis in an engagement with contemporary culture, Polish artist Leszek Knaflewski has also executed a series of drawings that reflect his ethos, the impulse to speak of reality and human existence. Presented here for the first time, Knaflewski’s drawings, with their strong black gestures and minimal use of colour, reveal an intimate, more private sphere of expression in which we witness the initiation of the artist’s creative process. The lines are like manifestations of the unseen vibrations in his audio works, building a system of meaning that is both forceful and full of metaphor.
