ZIGGY GRUDZINSKAS - COGNITIVE DISSONANCE, TRISTIAN KOENIG →
Grudzinskas possess and deploys a wide range of painterly techniques, with his work displaying a quiet tension between positive and negative gestures - between movements loaded with media spread across the painting's surface, and differing processes of erasure and removal. Playing off diametrically opposed values is further continued in contrasting flatness and depth, and diffuse sprays with crisp lines, which is heightened through a limited, almost monochromic, palette. Through these various procedures of application and cancellation, Grudzinskas’ liminal traces mirror the aesthetic and experience of contemporary urbanity.
