Jarek Wojcik’s previous solo exhibition, born from a journey to his native Poland in 2007, renewed his interest in the imaginative recreation of experience through memory. In his new exhibition Deserted Places he further develops his ideas of the artist’s creative re-imagining of place and experience.

“Art is a journey, and for me every painting is the beginning of that journey.

I’m visiting places which are not necessarily actual locations or even physical sites. They can be places within one's self. This is a mental landscape, part of my response to what is around me through the study of history. Every object, every destination, initiates a process of conversation with reality and produces a fascinating collection of stories, messages and experiences.

I’m asking questions, and to find the answers one has to travel… not too far.”
