Leave a Comment / Articles, Hello / By Wisniewsky

Oxmarket Contemporary, established in 1976, stands as one of the UK’s most unique spaces for contemporary art. Located in a beautifully restored historic church in Chichester, the gallery combines striking architecture with excellent lighting, creating an exceptional atmosphere that enhances the artworks on display. The ambiance of the old church, with its soft lighting and spacious interiors, perfectly highlights the details of each piece, fostering an ideal setting for interaction between the viewer and the artist. With this atmosphere, Oxmarket has become an iconic venue, merging the past with modernity and attracting art enthusiasts from around the world.

Since its inception, the gallery has hosted renowned artists from both the UK and abroad. Exhibitions have included works by artists like Andy Stewart, Louise Duggan, Bobby Dazzler, Imogen Pleydell-Bouverie, and Visvaldis Asaris. This diversity of styles and perspectives has established Oxmarket as a highly reputable space where artists from varied backgrounds and movements come together to engage in dialogue and share their experiences.

Rafał Dobosz, representing Artistic Avenue, is one of the latest artists to present his works in this remarkable gallery. His art, deeply rooted in emotional and spiritual exploration, aligns perfectly with the Oxmarket atmosphere. Dobosz employs a unique technique, combining multilayered structures and bold colours to create pieces full of energy and tension. The artist draws inspiration from the philosophy of the “Matrix”—a concept where life signals are transformed into expressions of love, understanding, and positive emotions. His paintings, a synthesis of his inner experiences, demonstrate how art can serve as a tool for emotional transformation, allowing for a more conscious perception of reality.

Dobosz’s participation in the exhibition attracted numerous collectors and art lovers, with the gallery providing a distinctive backdrop for his works. In places like Oxmarket Contemporary, history and modernity intertwine seamlessly, bridging the past and future of art. Alongside leading British artists, Dobosz showcases that Polish art holds an important place on the international stage, bringing a fresh perspective and new quality to the tradition of abstract painting.

Through a venue as extraordinary as Oxmarket, where history amplifies the impact of contemporary art, Dobosz has found an opportunity to engage in dialogue with viewers and fellow artists, marking an essential step in his artistic development.

The Dance of Emotions: Painting as a Journey of Self-Discovery

In the realm of art, each brushstroke tells a story, each layer of paint reflects an emotion, and each canvas becomes a mirror to the soul. For me, painting is not just about creating images; it’s a profound journey of self-discovery, a dance with the signals from the Matrix.

Every day, I embark on a conscious exploration of the signals that permeate our existence – signals of anger, empathy, love. But to me, they are merely that – signals. It matters not who sends them, for it is my perception and reception that determine their essence. It is I who decide how to interpret these emotions – whether to let them lure me into the game or observe them as a detached observer.

Each painting I create is a reflection of this ongoing dialogue with the invisible forces that shape our reality. Each canvas is a mirror, capturing the essence of a day, a thought, an emotion traversing the Matrix network. It reaches me like a conscious observer, and it is I who choose whether the avatar will engage with a particular

emotion or not. It’s a wondrous process, a testament to the creative power of life itself.

Painting, for me, is a transformative journey, an opportunity to observe and explore the depths of my emotions. It’s a constant reminder of how easily one can navigate through the Matrix, how effortlessly one can play the game, and how crucial it is to make conscious decisions. That’s why I love to paint using the Squidge Technique – a method of layering paint to create multi-dimensional textures. Oil paints, with their slow drying time, allow me to be patient, to immerse myself in the creative process, and to reconnect with the vibrations of past sessions.

Each layer of paint adds depth and complexity to my artworks, transforming them into multi-dimensional expressions of the human experience. They become windows into the soul, inviting

viewers to explore the intricate tapestry of emotions woven into each stroke.

Join me on this journey of self-discovery through art, where every painting is a reflection of the signals from the Matrix, and every brushstroke is a step towards understanding the complexities of human emotions.

Warm regards

Rafal Dobosz
