Macaroon 100 x 100 (oil on canvas)

Cross-stich 100 x 100 (oil on canvas)

By Dan Rule
The Age, Melbourne 2009

THERE'S a lovely fragility of line and texture that permeates Waldemar Kolbusz's otherwise bold, abstract expressionist paintings (below left). The Perth-born artist eschews crooked slabs of saturated colour with brittle etches and scratches, sponged texture and bleeding streams of excess paint. Interestingly, while the former accountant's work favours vivid reds, pinks and blues, some of the stronger paintings in this series feature a kind of muted and organic palette that channels the likes of Mark Rothko and echoes with notions of landscape, soil and earth. Indeed, Kolbusz's paintings may be void of figuration but they're unyieldingly redolent.

"BRUSH WITH FRAME"
By Megan Morton

"What started as an indulgent way to shift his left-brain analytical mind into right-brain intuition has turned former accountant Waldemar Kolbusz into one of Australia’s most exciting art talents."
