ABSTRACT ART WITH NEW MEDIA exhibition artist | BOGUSZAK
Maybe due to my background in mathematics, I like abstraction: pure forms expressing the core qualities of reality.
Sand dunes are the most fitting material for my work. Countless variations of their harmonious curves and shapes reminded me of the cleanliness of Newton laws of motion.
Taking a picture is just the beginning of the path. It is a search for photographic Equivalents in which simple lines form a new imagery, which evokes fresh associations and meanings, which in turn stimulate emotions freed from the original recorded object.
Czech-born Marek Boguszak is a photographer based in Prague. After graduation in mathematics, Marek completed his PhD in sociology. He was greatly influenced by the aesthetics of Josef Sudek, Ansel Adams and Alfred Stieglitz as well as by his training and work in mathematics studying abstract models. His body of work is an exploration of abstractions in landscape and classic photography representation.
In thirty-five years, Marek has established himself by recalling experimental methods of the early Avant-garde. From analog to digital, Marek developed his visual vocabulary by working with sophisticated processing and printing techniques, both analogue using silver gelatin and digital under glass. Since 2019, his focus has been on creating a significant series of sand dunes photography, presenting colorful dreamscapes with new meanings.
