Winston Chmielinski
Winston Chmielinski's figures are landscapes: visual metaphors that reveal an alternate significance
only in the eyes of a willing signifier. The disconnection between what is perceived and what is seen,
or in the case of Winston's portraits, the self that is reflected, and the self that is felt, can only be
sutured back together in works that first fragment the physical plane--a concentration of color in one
face, a plague of shadows on another--in hoping to catch (through these intentioned cracks) a
fleeting glimpse of the unsheathed self. www.wi-ch.com
