Bio
Artur Lam – I studied sociology and only then art. I am an abstract painter. In my work, I try to capture what arises in my mind: thoughts, memories, dreams, fears. I’m not looking for beauty, I don’t want to judge ugliness. Not always what is generally valuable is valuable individually. For me, painting is a dialogue between an artist and a work. It’s a way of reflection. I listen to myself, I don’t impose on the artwork how to look perfect.
Artur Lam tries to define and capture the eternal human flaw in his works. Like philosophers, ethicists, logicians, semantics, semiotics, psychologists, sociologists and finally linguists, Artur encodes his observations and reflections on the nature of lies. The artist presents in an abstract way the universality of lies and their various forms. The paintings painted by the artist fit into the style of postpainterly and symbolic abstraction. Abstract painting easily bears the weight of the subject. The painting forms used allow for the interpretation of the complicated matter of lies, creating interesting compositions with a
minimalist formula. Artur Lam
Art Statement
My work often deals with non-obvious, general issues. One of them is the constant pursuit of internal harmony. I am fascinated by philosophy. My painting reflects the differences between people that result from the way they view my paintings. They are not figurative compositions. This is a study in the field of symbolism and symptoms. Abstract painting always hides secrets, but also reveals many secrets.
All my creative activity can be described as improvement. I achieve the effect in painting through internal reflection. The essence of my artistic perception are external interactions in relation to the motives and intentions of creation.
My artwork is a unique form,
different from commonly recognized styles of calligraphic art.
It acquires the features of abstract symbolism because it does not recognize any rules, while traditional calligraphy is subject to them. As a conscious representative of calligraffiti, I breake from the principles of typography and allows myself to transform and deconstruct letters and combine them with other symbols and signs in a very creative way. He prefers to use characters from his own dictionary to create visual compositions, new languages. Artur Lam technique itself is characterized by directness in its entirety and finesse in detail.
