Šwierkiewicz Róbert A vízhez hasonló című kiállítása

Róbert Šwierkiewicz's art can best be compared to water, which embraces, carries, dissolves, absorbs and lifts you up. His art starts from everyday objects and actions, takes natural phenomena as its starting point and, filtered through his own experience, culminates in continuous creation. In his person, art and life are definitively dissolved into one another. His works are not defined by genre or medium, nor by trends or tendencies.

On the contrary, he breaks down all traditional categories of art history. His basic stance reveals an elementary experience of freedom, which, regardless of current trends, always chooses the most appropriate form and medium. In the words of Ernő Marosi, Šwierkiewicz's art is at once primitive and primordial, childlike and naïve, and ultimately mystical, but it is best described in terms of freedom. His work is characterized by expressive, informal, fluxus, gesture and mail art, but also by traces of Arte povera, Pop Art, Process Art and Lettrism.

But he ignored all of this and let the phenomena pass through him, transforming his everyday objects and the inner experience of his life into art. Šwierkiewicz, like a flowing river, moving freely between cultures, religions and traditions, unites in his ever-changing art the motifs that move him - whether he is working on the banks of the Danube, the Ganges or the Neckar.
