Stanislaw Zoladz

Acclaimed trio. Together with generational colleagues such as Lars Lerin (b. 1954) and Lars Jonsson (b. 1952), Stanislaw Zoladz (b. 1952) is one of the contemporary masters of watercolor technology.

The three artists share in-depth knowledge of the basic elements of watercolor painting: the changing properties of pigments, the ability of water to influence the light of color and the importance of paper quality for the end result. Together, they possess the unique ability to capture movement and a sense of freedom in shimmering watercolor paintings.

”The acclaimed watercolor artist Stanislaw Zoladz has a long career with almost 100 exhibitions and several awards behind him. One of the most important components in all of Stanislaw Zoladz's watercolors is the light. This is what gives the motifs life, and it is precisely the lighting that he spends the most time on when it comes to art.
Another basic part of being able to create the realistic paintings is the colors, and Stanislaw Zoladz has refined the art of interpreting the color codes to the extreme. Stanislaw Zoladz also believes that the climate also affects the color scales of the subject. At more southern latitudes, where the humidity is higher, the background colors often become blurred. ”

"Stanislaw Zoladz mainly paints water and light. Light that is reflected on the sea waves, filtered through a stream, or retreats across the landscape towards the end of the day. All this with perfect technical precision.
At the exhibition at Pumphuset, the experienced watercolor painter exhibits large landscapes and a small number of city views; all are characterized by a photo-like realism. The fidelity to nature does not consist in the richness of detail that makes visible what we would not otherwise notice. Rather, the paintings reflect visions we are used to: the familiar view of the gable of the house when you get around the bend and are almost at home, or the algae on the stone floor that are visible through the shallow water when you sit on that particular cliff. Zoladz captures the same places over and over again and in that very act there is a touch of tenderness and care that gives an extra dimension. ”
