Continuum series 1996-2011

The Continuum series of works are
concerned with symmetry and reflection.
Rotating and mirroring linear forms,
layering surfaces of pure colour
and exposing a works history at points
of intersection through visible
under-painting and negative lines.

"... Marek Tobolewski'’s
work continues to
entrance and mystify...

Continuum In Symmetry is the most impressive show of Tobolewski’s I have ever seen.

... his artistic practice seems
to be a never-ceasing journey along a single path, continually striving for new insights and perfections.

"Marek Tobolewski's exhibition is titled Sym, with individual paintings and drawings going under names such as
2LC DipSym Neg and 1LC SymM+R.

The fact that such designations come across as suggestive of cryptic or downright impenetrable technical formulae to most
of us might stress the artist's apparent reliance on precise systems of procedure, but this in no way distracts from
the work's enduring enigmatic lure.

Tobolewski might skirt dangerously close to the kind of
spaced-out geometric mannerisms that, in a less sensitive artist, would betray a paperback misreading of the cosmic implications
of chaos theory. Yet his is a rare skill in being able to make such references at the same time as imbuing every one of his
swirling lines with a highly personal lyrical grace.

This is art that comes over all joyous although it has obviously been achieved through sustained reflective struggle.”
