Rudolf Polanszky *
Est: €28,000 - €50,000
(born in Vienna 1951) Synthetic Construct, signed and dated Polanszky 89 on the reverse, various materials a. o. plastic, PU foam, acrylic on canvas, 168 x 186 x 14 cm, over wooden frame Provenance: Private Collection, Vienna The method as a vicarious ritual: In each new work I create a new field of action, I multiply the surroundings of my works, constantly adding new relations as functions of evolving reflexes and variable standpoints. I prefer to use these as well as objects "external to art" and take my accessories from a stock of limited occasions. With my techniques and my approaches I try to draw incoherent parts into the semantics of my grammar and to obtain syntheses with the quality of discovery by using the parts created and assembled in this way. I proceed by simulating assumptions of experience and models of stimulus. This forces me to channel various modes of experience and to thus synthetically generate relations. As opposed to scientific methods this mode of verification is subjected to a sort of self-generated (internal) apparatus, which changes the models and hypotheses according to the results. If one is successful these symbiotic aspects define a new horizon of ideas. The idea seems to me to play an important role in the mechanism of production. This seems to be the central interface of my hypotheses and the monitoring processes within my works. My work ends where my idea of it becomes autonomous.

There is something negative about it all, a deficit. Coincidence is a lack of will to act. It's simple but still complex for me. All the materials and things are made for a purpose. Everything, each wooden board, the diving goggles, everything has a purpose. I only use things that have fallen outside the constraints of purpose and are thrown away. That have been liberated from purpose? Free materials, that's what I bend into shape. There is something beautiful in this. I simply love this term and I also play around with it. This is my level and I'm still, tentatively, taking away the last vestiges of possible identification. You shouldn’t know where it comes from and what it was. Because if you do, then that alone becomes what is immediately referred to, that's the straw, because then you have something to hold on to. But I like to have nothing at all, just the potential of what it could be - you just don't know .... from an interview: Wolfgang Maritsch /Rudolf Polanszky

RUDOLF POLANSZKY: ROHRSCHACH TRANSFORMATION
Est: €25,000 - €50,000
Rudolf Polanszky Rohrschach Transformation 2010 acrylic glass, colour, various materials on canvas; unframed 122 x 140 cm inscribed, signed and dated on the reverse: "Rohrschach Transformation" Polanszky 2010 private collection, Austria Ever since the early 1980s, the conceptual artist Rudolf Polanszky has been reflecting phenomena and findings from mathematics, philosophy and perception theory in his filmic and photographic works, wall objects and large-scale installations. In doing so, he is always on a "search for the undefinable behind systems of order" (https://www.castyourart.com/rudolf-polanszky-translineare-strukturen-.html accessed 8.10.2023). His abstract works, which he calls "translinear structures" in the two-dimensional realm, are created by spontaneously combining existing elements in novel contexts and compositions. Polanszky describes this spontaneously intuitive approach as "ad hoc synthesis". The starting materials for these "reconstructions" are waste products, used and found objects that he stores, sometimes exposed to the weather for years, before they are used. Traces of decomposition, rotting and decay become a fully intentional part of his works. This work, created in 2010, likewise belongs to the "Reconstructions" series. Here, too, Rudolf Polanszky starts with raw, used materials, which he places on a canvas in superimposed, mutually reflecting layers like a collage. The two-dimensional design of the surface is undermined by the non-linear process of layering. The artist contrasts light with dark, shiny with matt parts of the picture and brings "the sensual quality of the material properties to the fore" (Kerstin Kren at: https://sammlung.belvedere.at/objects/64953/reconstructions--translineare-strukturen? accessed on 8.10.2023). The random is methodically integrated, the uncontrollable processes of decomposition and ageing are as much a part of the work as the spontaneous gesture. This creates an exciting interaction between materials and structures. Rudolf Polanszky, whose paintings have also been increasingly in demand internationally in recent years (as is clearly apparent from the price trend), has since 2019 been presented together with Franz West at the prestigious Gagosian Gallery.
