The pale winter sun behind the yew tree irradiates it in a lively energy field: a sense of animation accentuated by a bold blue outline pulsing around the whole tree. Large dark-filled circles rest on the top branches, and orange shapes glow on the trunk. The roots are fixed into a tessellation of brickwork where the occasional flower blooms.
Inspired in part by the legacy of the Young Poland movement, of which his great grandfather was a prominent member, Trojanowski fuses the warm and decorative energy of his Polish heritage with shades of surreal and expressionist gestures to create graphic and textured organic forms, enhanced by a piercing and contemporary technological pulse.
The energy in this canvas is built up from multiple small brushstrokes marks, within a strong sense of pattern, assisted by bold outlines.
