Bartosz Kokosiński is renowned for his ironic approach to the flaws of classical painting. “Painting it Black” conveys a fatalistic vision of an impending end. This end, as foreseen by Kokosiński, alludes to the downfall of traditional artistic techniques but may also symbolize anxieties regarding a looming climate disaster. The resin’s smooth surface generates a reflective effect in which the viewer sees themselves as the architect of this inevitable catastrophe.
