Stripey canvas (all coloured works untitled), detail
Jasiek Mischke's work deals with the proximity of one thing to another. As an artist he is interested in how far he can extend his presence. His drawings, performances, texts or installations appear as delicate and tender presentations, but in actuality are driven by subversive machinations. Separation of colour is a current theme in Mischke's practice. His drawings reflect this; being a series of coloured lines, they individually follow the artist's hand across the page. Collectively, they create waves accumulating slight curves or inaccuracies when drawing straight lines. By cutting off the end of his drawings Mischke tries to make them potentially go on forever and sees the premature end to the work similarly to that of exists on maps.
