Description
Janusz Walentynowicz (1956, Poland)
Standing Boy
1986
Glass; ht. 41, wd. 12 in.
Polish-born Janusz Walentynowicz moved to Illinois from Denmark in 1982 to study with Joel Philip Myers, head of the glass program at Illinois State University. Since then he has established a home and studio in Clinton, Illinois. His work is darker and more political than most in his medium. As Walentynowicz stated in a 1996 interview: "Glass insists that we look into it, that we not stop at the surface of what is shown. The emotional states depicted here are points of easily disturbed equilibriums between inner and outer states. The traces of surface, color, and texture both hold back and reveal clues. You can look past these eternal details of identity right into the scars and stress of experience which are still evident and threatening internally though healed on the surface."
Exhibited: Glass New Concepts, Robert Kidd Gallery, Birmingham, MI, 1992.
Reference: Yood, James. Janusz Walentynowicz. Chicago: Marx-Saunders Gallery, 1999.
