Snow on the Mountainside (Contemporary Landscape Drawing, Scorched Wood Panel)
2019

About the Item

Burned and scorched drawing on Baltic Birch panel of a Birch forest and snowy mountain landscape Made with a small jeweler's blowtorch, naturally sepia toned 13.5 x 13.5 inches in a custom wood frame Ready to hang as is This contemporary landscape drawing on panel was made by Berkshire based artist, Paul Chojnowski in 2019. Perhaps the single most fascinating thing about this painting is the artist's choice of medium: fire. There is no sepia tone, no pigment, no watercolor. After years of creating and experimenting with burned drawings on paper, the artist has since transitioned to landscapes on wood panel. Made with a tiny jeweler's blow torch, the artist burned, scorched, and at times scratched into the wood surface to create this intricately detailed landscape of a lush Birch forest. The viewer's attention is guided into the Birch forest at eye level where they are first met with the trunk of the trees and then guided towards the background where trees become smaller and leaves are detailed with gentle blow torch strokes. Chojnowski incorporates the natural rings in the wood panel to act as the snow on the forest floor. The piece is framed in a custom wood frame and is ready to hang. More about the artist: Throughout Chojnowski's career a distinguishing characteristic has been the use of nontraditional media and tools in his art making. His current work, images burned into paper and wood evolved as a result of his conscious effort to embrace art historical traditions while rejecting the traditional processes. Chojnowski began burning and scorching wood and paper to create his images in the early 1990’s. Since then, his fire drawings have been shown in group and solo exhibitions in art centers, museums and galleries nationally. His work was part of the set decoration on the Scott Hicks film No Reservations, starring Catherine Zeta-Jone and Aaron Eckhart and the Nancy Meyers film It's Complicated starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. A documentary titled AGLOW about his life has been shown at film festivals around North America recently. In 2013 Chojnowski's work was part of exhibitions titled illuminators at OK Harris Works of Art and SUB urban at Smart Clothes Gallery both located in New York. He was selected to be the first Artist in Residence at WATERFIRE Sharon, in western Pennsylvania where an exhibition of his fire drawings took place in October 2013. In 2014 his work was selected for the inaugural exhibition Figuring In at the Berkshire Artist Museum in North Adams, Massachusetts, home of MASS MoCA. In the autumn a fire drawing acquired by the University of Arizona Art Museum will be part of the exhibition A Continuing Legacy: Gallagher Purchases. During the summer and fall of 2015 his work was in the first exhibition at the Fresh Paint Gallery, part of the Berkshire Artist Museum in North Adams, Massachusetts and in WAVELENGTH: THE ART OF LIGHT at the University of Arizona Museum of Art in Tuscon. It was followed by a solo exhibition titled New and Selected Work at the C. William Gilchrist Museum of the Arts in Cumberland, Maryland that opened in October. In 2016 the Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY mounted a solo show titled Paper, Plywood and Light. During the summer Bright Ideas Brewing in North Adams, MA hosted an exhibition his Infrastructure Series. Both exhibitions featured new drawings on plywood and illuminated drawings on paper. Artist statement: Walking after dark in the light filled streets of American cities like Boston, New York and Chicago has been my inspiration for an ongoing series of work I call Nocturnes. As a pedestrian one is aware of being surrounded by the rich array of sights and sounds. I have no interest in a studied representation of a street scene per say. My intent with this series has always been to capture a memory, a fleeting moment of what I saw from the corner of my eye as I made my way amidst the bustling city dwellers. Visually, my subject is light: taxi headlights reflecting off wet pavement, neon blaring and shop or apartment windows aglow. I love the energy of the city after dark and I hope to some extent to have captured it in works like On the Street and Out of the Darkness.
