Geometric Reflections: Pener’s Ode to the Big Sea

Geometric Reflections: Pener’s Ode to the Big Sea

Tuesday was fish. Today is the sea.

“Ode To The Big Sea” is one of Pener’s notable artworks, first on canvas and now on the wall. The Polish street artist, also known by his family as Bartek Swiatecki, evokes the reflective qualities of natural light awash in color here in Olsztyn. His unique blend of abstract and geometric forms invites you to jump in and be carried by waves.

A teacher and a student Swiatecki has developed an innovative use of space, often transforming a dull tableau into an unexpected visual experience.”Ode To The Big Sea” reflects his dual fascination with urban environments and the natural elements, merging them into complex visual narratives. In Moby Dick, the sea is vast and indifferent. Hemingway succeeded in capturing the deep, almost spiritual connection one may have with it. Rachel Carson highlighted both its grandeur and its fragility. In Pener’s latest, the rhythmic reflections of light and color make it precious, a jewel to revel in and behold.
