Manager’s Way, by “Pawel Wewiorski”
The photograph Manager’s Way, by “Pawel Wewiorski” is an incredible black and white image that subtly confuses the eye. The longer I look at this image, the more I feel it was hand drawn. Then I take a step back, look at it closer and it is a photograph again. This idea that the photograph could be viewed as a drawing is what makes this piece interesting to me. The rich tonality of this black and white photograph are incredible.
The architectural ideas presented in this piece bring about feelings of destruction, fire, and perhaps war. The crumbling building looks to have been burned in a fire perhaps not too long ago. Graffiti covers the walls as a testement to the people that have been there. The arches of the building interact nicely with the diagonal created by the crumbling brick wall. There is a figure walking/crawling up the broken, decaying wall looking forward and up to the ceiling. I think that this might be the artists way of expressing hope in a forlorn environment.
