Witkowski recently left San Francisco and lives in Holly Springs, North Carolina. Witkowski's paintings take the viewer from the representational world into the abstract. Its paint is a stark contrast between thin luminous layers and heavier impasto. The artist combines heightened realism with soft, smooth edges. Witkowski also uses the paint splatter technique as a counterpoint to represent elements of randomness and irrationality in human experience. However, in this bridge between the real and the surreal, the audience regains their own center and sense of humanity. The same process is evident in his ink on paper. Once again, we are fascinated by the magic and the function of his art in connecting the two worlds. Witkowski creates a wire between the worlds and invites the viewer for a walk.
