About Inez Andrucyk

Statement of Intent.  2024

Finding refuge through painting and sculpture, sometimes joy by visually transforming the chaos of mental dystopian reasoning and apocalyptic anti-logic, I work at subduing and overtaking the chatter, by using assertive colors drowning out the nonsense and tying up the messy by lassoing confusion into various uplifting melodies.

“Could a greater Miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?” -Henry Thoreau. This art practice finds visual transformations as if watching moment by moment cloud changes tumbling through the sky. While the amorphous nature of truth feels unstable, the sheer joy of color, movement, line, and space are its antidote. These artworks are devoted to the search for a resonant balance inspired by those compassionate healers who so fearlessly strive to protect the living and our planet. Inez Andrucyk exhibits painting, sculpture, poetry, and hybrids within the New York metropolitan area including performances and video at Hudson Valley MOCA and Westchester Community College. Three murals are located in theBronx, Portchester, NY (SoneTower collaboration), and Fairfield CT. including various internet and hard copy publications to mention: The Journal News, Art Focuses on Addiction, www.artandaddiction website featured artwork.
