Transfers

Nowadays, when an artist expresses himself by means of photography, he doesn’t need any legitimation for it. From Pawlok’s experimental handling of processes, techniques and image carrier media, a pictorial substantiveness that doesn’t need visual correspondance within reality, to say which doesn’t search for a copy, emerges. With the transfers, the photographer becomes a painter. Faces and flowers are the most prevalent subjects. A large format polaroid, which is transferred to a heavy, rough-textured hand made paper or canvas by a complex transformation process, provides the motif. The well-calculated exchange of the photochemical layer simultaneously sums up with the amalgam of coincidence.

Here, Pawlok is a painter and alchemist at the same time. Due to their so thoroughly induced metamorphosis into a new and singular pictorial space, the results of this manipulation could easily be named transmutations. Whithin the peculiar profoundness these works eradiate, the developing process seems to continue to have an effect. Their materiality reminds of an artistic principle of modernity which doesn’t make use of pictorial means solely in order to express, but elevates them to be the purpose themselves.
