Louisa’s garden

In June Luisa’s garden blooms most beautifully
Whose non-existence kills like an axe
Suspended on a rainbow under the guarantee of a vision
Glows in the glare of purple domes
In June, Luisa’s garden blooms most beautifully

Louisa whose lightness grace and freedom
Metal with rose and flint with cloud
She runs helplessly in the dark lee of the garden
Hearts carved in the bark guarding her
Louisa whose lightness grace and freedom

Cavalcade of oak the watchfulness of deer’s glee
Louisa’s gamut of laughter repeats when she
Scattering starfish hair on the sand
Surrenders her bare throat with laughter overcome
Cavalcade of oak tree vigilance of deer glares

Louisa’s favour can only be won by valour
Certainty of cast and nerve maddening tension
Winner smeared with thick animal blood
Bring her a lion’s mouth and a swan’s heart
Only valour can win Luisa’s favour

The simplicity of the mystery of Louisa’s garden
Labyrinths and arbors of wilderness and flower beds
The birdhouses and the roaring of the chasing gazelles
Only the righteous and noble can comprehend
The simplicity of the mystery of Louisa’s garden

Whose non-existence kills like an axe
With the reality of the mortal waiting rooms of the earth
Cursed with the dreams of children and idiots
Cursed by the mists of nonsense perishing in neurasthenia
Whose non-existence kills like an axe

Art in relation (2009)

Art passes away, even if it is immortal. To give it life, the painter Jan Niksiński (57) from Warsaw has breathed new life into it. He entitled his exhibition. “Recycling 2”. Born in the district town of Przasnysz in the Mazovian Voivodship, 100 kilometres north of Warsaw, the artist studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk from 1973 and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw from 1975.

LIMITLESS RECYCLING OF MEMORIES (2009)

ZWINGENBERG: Jan Niksinski assembles his paintings from used ideas, stored thoughts and memories. They show abstract symbolism, which in combination with graphic adaptation creates a visual whole. In this way, the artist opens his mental self to public access, without depriving the viewer of the possibility to get personal views. A very nice selection of his latest works can be seen at Remise until 27 December. The exhibition opened on Sunday in the presence of numerous guests.

CHINKS AND FISSURES IN THE MUSEUM (2006)

The protagonist of a recent vernissage at the Przasnysz Museum was Jan Niksinski, a Przasnysz resident who has made a career in Switzerland, Austria, France and Africa, among other places. The exhibition, which opened on the last Saturday of September, is entitled ‘Gaps, cracks and curtains’.

The surface and secret (2004)

“Art begins where reality ends.” This quote aptly describes the works of Polish painter Jan Niksinski. The Art-Galerie an der Stadtkirche is currently exhibiting his abstract works. These highly reduced, minimalist works of art, which can be seen until Christmas, radiate something mysterious and unusual beauty.

Ilse Kersten’s at the opening of the exhibition “Images and Images” Jan Niksinski

Dear art lovers, dear Jan!

For many years, I successfully objected to giving speeches on my exhibitions because I believed that pictures can’t be explained, that they can only be experienced. They should speak for themselves, and words, in my opinion, spoil everything. It would have never crossed my mind that one day I would be working on a speech, that I would desire to explain another painter’s pictures to the viewer, that I would dare to take this challenge.

Niksinski now also paints in colour (2000)

“For me, art is the only thing that makes it interesting to live and work in our reality,” says Jan Niksinski (48). A graduate of the art academies in Gdansk and Warsaw, he has been working as a freelance artist since 1978. A vernissage was held on Thursday evening in the presence of invited guests from the worlds of politics, culture, business and The exhibition “red and green and even blue” by Polish painter Jan Niksinski was opened on Thursday evening in the rooms of the Schmidtbank main branch in Weiden in the presence of invited guests from the world of politics, culture and business as well as employees and customers of the bank.

Africa and modern painting (1993)

Rheinfelden. tex. Concentrated knowledge from 36 years of passionate collecting is impressive. Madeleine and Jean-Jacques Keller have carefully put together the sixth exhibition at the “Atelier Spiserhus” in the heart of Rheinfelden’s old town.

Symbolic language and puppets (1993)

ln the small world theatre of marionettes from Africa and Asia, the Kellers present charming creatures from the world of fables. Depending on the ethnic group, the moving objects can be understood both as entertainment aids and with a view to criticising the system.

NIKSINSKI’S REPEAT DEBUT (1991)

I came across this place in the autumn: the bar “Milano” has been transformed into a sales gallery of the same name. The art presented here is more ambitious than in most commercial showrooms. Coffee. Served to guests by the manager.
