About the work:Pola Babicka (1985), Rush of rabbits / Rush of rabbits, monotype, oil, photographic paper, 19 x 27 cm unframed, 31.5 x 41.5 cm framed, 2023.Framed work, signed on back right bottom: Pola Babicka, Rush of rabbits, Paris, 2023, above signature two stamps. Work from a series of more than 30 monotypes created in Piotr Strelnik's studio in Paris, 2023. Each monotype is a unique print, in the creation ofwhich two conscious processes are involved: the creation of the painting pattern and the process of reflection. Mapping the inner world and remembering (like memory, it works selectively). There is also a certain analogy with photography, which is a chemical or digital record of the light of worlds. Fleeting like a moment, frozen with varying degrees of force, on photographic paper. The artist writes of this work: And yet in this rush of rabbits chasing dreams of happiness, there are still those who travel to the dark side of the moon, seeking a mesmeric revelation of the mechanism of life. For some, the discovery of robots and their connection to the magic of music and hope is a great miracle. For others, the inevitability of death is like a black hole, reminding them that love is the only thing that truly transcends the cycle of life and death. But still we travel on, our curiosity pushing us forward, always looking for the light at the end of the rainbow. We watch as the clock measures hours, months, years, as the cycles of life and death loop endlessly through time. And in that watchful moment, we realize that the most magical thing of all is not the measure of time, but the journey itself. In this journey we find hope; in this hope we see the light that guides us through the darkest nights."
