WALTER JAKUBOWSKI
A Stranger in a Strange Land

Having always been fascinated with life’s mysteries that lie outside of our culture’s accepted norms, I find that abstraction departs from the mundane to challenge our perceptions of the everyday world in which we exist. My goal is to create images that to me are compelling, both emotionally and visually, endeavoring to provide a portal for transmuting the temporal to the empyreal. Images are found captures of paint; cracked, flaked or otherwise deteriorating on rusting metal. The textures are inherent and the colors and tonality are the result of my initial and subsequent response to the subject matter.

Walter Jakubowski is a photographic artist specializing in abstract imagery that suggests a story. The story is one that the viewer creates in response to the painterly images that spark the imagination. The compositions intimate an ambience that is emotionally vibrant, mysterious and full of drama, blurring the distinction between photography and compositional poetic design. They are purely abstract, presenting rhythms of color, texture and ambiguous forms. Walter’s education was primarily in the sciences and engineering curricula. He also briefly studied Painting and Photography. Professionally he transitioned from engineering into the sphere of Industrial Design as a digital surface sculptor. Post retirement he has been able to focus on his passion, Photography. Ever since he picked up his first camera in his ‘20’s his photographic passion has always been the landscape and his visual style has evolved with expressions of the abstract culminating in his present work today.
