some meaning in existence this process will probably last until the end of my life grzegorz wróblewski in his own words wróblewski describes his journey as one of continuous self discovery he views his interactions with the world and his creative endeavors as a means to understand his own identity and place in the cosmos this introspective approach aligns with existentialist thought emphasizing

autopause 0 player_id 0 app_id 58479 minimalist art and poetry wróblewski s influence january 12 2025 i just read three new poems by grzegorz wróblewski this morning it is the start of 2025 well over a week into it really also feeling my middle age i still have at least 17 years of work or probably more since i am not sure i can ever afford to stop working with no property piddly savings etc so guess i am still middle aged squarely middle aged whatever that means time to build or let go life expanding and contracting well one thing for certain i feel my mortality differently i expect that will continue there are comforts great art as always especially minimalist without pretensions i think i need that more than ever endless hours of techno narcissism little narrow alleys of specialised professional niches no thank you i want the bigger picture grzegorz wróblewski has always been a favourite a good friend someone whose art nourishes even if at first glance it might seem heavy and pessimistic it is not one thing only it is sometimes like the poetry of james tate and charles simic direct and often humorous surreal absurd it cuts through the bullshit here are three new poems translated into english of grzegorz wróblewski they deal with life and death directly also birds solipsism and hot mammals the flow of life read them over at north of oxford dream dust surreal absurd travel stories december 31 2024 hurrah i have a new book coming in march 2025 from broken sleep books in the u k broken sleep makes very fine books super happy and grateful it is called dream dust microfiction prose poems from berlin barcelona london poland prague utah and more i have been working on some of these prose poems since 2018 so it s nice to have them birthed into the world here is a prose poem from the new book it is called white elephants and was written in prague while searching for the biggest medieval square in europe instead we found large sculptures of alien crawling babies by david černý and then the great underground cabaret here is a reading of white elephants from my upcoming book dream dust figurative surrealism bridging psychology and art december 30 2024 surrealism has spread it s wings far and wide of course it is less and less interesting to pursue some kind of pure surrealism it seems the most interesting surrealism is often mixed for example pure surrealist automatism can sometimes feel like someone trying to tell you their fascinating dream it is often not every interesting but as a starting point yes so i suppose at least for me i enjoy super reality and the uncanny rather than abstract surrealism or automatism as an end point a grounding with a nice rug that is pulled out from under you however i also enjoy some abstract surrealism miro for example i am less and less interested in word salads and verbal gymnastics as the main driving force of linguistically innovative poetry also i have grown more and more disillusioned with post modern theories and sensibilities with their obsessive focus on power as the centre of human experience foucault etc ditto overly academic poetics tied to dense specialisation often obscuring rather than opening up and revealing the liberation of thought and language change randomness and unpredictability and transgressing boundaries those are the legacies of surrealism that stick with me also dreamlike imagery that expands the narrowly constructed realms of the real i am pulled towards surrealism for its intersection of psychology and art here is this morning s new surrealism painting by inka essenhigh it is called predawn in spring 2020 it is an example of figurative surrealism haunting and beautiful those ghost like figures are welcoming the sun is warm in the centre and the skeleton trees are also beautiful death is there but also beauty also those elemental energies of yin and yang masculine and feminine winter poem dear working man with tarred leggings december 21 2024
