Edward Lipski


The hallucinatory nature of organic materials used in art creates angst: by keeping desire at a distance it generates fear and pleasure at the same time. Good and evil do not cancel one another, but they coexist in an eternal contradiction generating anxiety, and at the same time opening a new metaphysics.

Simona Vendrame: A black bird without eyes or beak, a headless pig without trotters or tail, a boy-like dummy crying tears that are continually recycled through a plastic tube: one of the constants of your work seems to be a sense of loss. We find ourselves in a standby situation, a stato of waiting and of continual tension outside time as we usually understand it. All your creations seem naked, lonely and lost.

Edward Lipski: Rather than omission I prefer to see what is missing as editing leaving what is essential: the bird’s eyes and beak are covered in feathers, the pig’s heedlessness highlights its body. I want a sense of correctness which give the works a condition of possibility
