ABOUT THE ARTWORK
A reproduction of the painting “Can’t Sleep, Watching Tennis”
For just about any tennis fan, this painting could be a self-portrait. A big match at the US Open or the Australian Open often turns into a late-night marathon: a dimly lit room, the bright rectangle of the screen, a coffee going cold nearby. It is a ritual every fan of the sport knows, the simple pull to be part of the event wherever in the world it is being played. Katarzyna Kwater-Więcek’s painting is a study of exactly that experience: a man sitting in front of a screen on which a tennis match is playing out. The colours of the court deep in the composition point directly to clay, the surface most strongly associated with Roland Garros.The figure stays still, separated from the dynamic action by the thin border of the screen. The whole composition is a symbol of being hypnotised by the image, and of passive participation in a reality mediated by the screen.The original painting was digitised at high resolution to preserve a faithful rendering of its texture and colours. The archival pigment print is produced on matt, cotton Galerie Rag 270gsm fine art paper, which guarantees colour that lasts for many years.
Meet the artist
Katarzyna Kwater-Więcek
A graduate of the Fine Arts Secondary School in Kraków and of graphic arts at the Pedagogical University of Kraków. By day she designs digital products, and that clearly shapes her painting. In her work she explores the relationship between people, technology and the image, which is why she often portrays a male figure staring at a screen as a symbol of the present day. She is drawn to that suspended state between focus and the hypnotic trance brought on by the content streaming from a display. .
