2 Przy okazji wystawy Kasi Banaś Malarstwa się nie wymyśla, do malarstwa się dochodzi Ma oczy szeroko otwarte i myśli. Kiedyś pracowita studentka, myślące malowanie dziś dowód na możliwość rozwoju wrażliwości plus odwaga realizacji. Czy to kobiece malarstwo? (oparte przede wszystkim na wrażliwości) ale jeśli męskie nie ma tej cechy jest niedobre. Malarstwo Kasi to po prostu dobre, piękne malarstwo. Józef Hałas A landscape in the language of the abstract Kasia Banas is an abstract artist whose paintings draw on the landscape as an identifiable source of inspiration. I m trying to generate my own artistic code to convey a landscape in the language of the abstract. Generally speaking when we refer to abstract art, (the language of the abstract) we are referring to art which has taken from, or separated out, an identifiable source of reality and abstracted its elements. It could be that an artist starts out with an object or a figure and abstracts its elements so that the resulting art work becomes a visual interpretation of reality a simplified or stylised version of a recognisable subject matter. In this sense Kasia s work often uses direct representational elements such as a ship or a river bank objects which are instantly recognisable to us as being real or having been taken directly from reality to help us read her work. My art stems from the very real visual experience such as my journeys which then find reflection on canvas as my personal landscape portrait. Kasia Banas has already found her own unique sense of sound and harmony. Using both representational elements, and pure abstract mark and form her boats, fields and river banks, set amongst an arrangement of pure abstract colour and line expressionistic mark, texture and fine layered glazes of oil paint seem to pound out there own sense of rhythm drawing you in and then pulling you back out again, pulling you in and drawing you out. At times, Kasia s work seems to seek to purely represent the sensation which nature elicits, her journeys, experiences and memories, rather than to represent nature itself. Then, a key representational element catches our eye and instantly transforms the composition, pulling us ephemerally back into the reality of a landscape. Jenny Brookman Farvens fylde Om Kasia Banas fortolkning af Henrik Nordbrandts digte Hvad kan man tilføje et digt, hvor man finder følgende strofer ( Lysår )?: Om dagen kaster solen din skygge/ind i mit liv./om natten er det efterårsmånen./den første smerter mest./den anden sårer til gengæld dybere./men det er de udslukte stjerners lys/som kaster den skygge/jeg elsker:/den som med lysår bag sig/er kommet dig nærmest/din mindste bevægelses væsen. En litteraturanmelder kan tale om Henrik Nordbrandts uudslukkelige melankoli, hans sublime evne til billeddannelse og hans enestående fornemmelse for sprogets rytme og klang. En maler derimod må efter bedste evne forsøge at tolke det samme i et helt andet, ordløst medie.heldigvis har man siden romantikken forsøgt netop dette: at finde en fælles poetisk fællesnævner i litteraturen, musikken og billedkunsten, og malere som Delacroix, Signac, Kandinsky og Klee har i teori og praksis demonstreret, hvordan farver og former kan illudere klange, toner og harmonier. Henrik Nordbrandts digte foregår altid i en spinkel hinde mellem drøm og virkelighed. På samme måde finder man i Kasia Banas malerier en dobbelthed af motiv og abstraktion. Vi ser en inddeling af lærredet i de tre grundelementer: jord, vand og himmel med en anløbsbro og sejlbåde liggende for anker i den stille sø. I det fjerne anes bjerge, og ovenover kaster solen eller månen et lysfyldt skær over sceneriet. Dette traditionelle landskabsbillede forrykkes imidlertid af nonfigurative penselstrøg i form at cirkler, halvtransparente farvelag og ekspressive kalligrafiske udladninger. Noget, som er med til at lægge et drømmende slør over motivet og gøre rumvirkningen irrationel og paradoksal, kort sagt, gøre malerierne selv til poesi. Medvirkende hertil er Kasia Banas indfølende fornemmelse for farven: dybe blå toner, varme gule, orange og røde og en violet, som driver melankolske molstemninger ind over helheden. En farvesans, som virkelig rammer ned i de følelsesmæssige dybder, hvor der ikke er langt fra ekstase til fortvivlelse. Hvis man skal sammenligne med noget på dansk grund, må det være Oluf Høst og hans nærmest panteistiske fornemmelse for lyset, ellers skal vi til en Pierre Bonnard for at genfinde en så intens fornemmelse for farvens fylde. Det siger sig selv, at Kasia Banas tolkning af Henrik Nordbrandts digte ikke skal tages for mere end de er: en subjektiv indlevelse i et på samme tid fantastisk smukt og hjerteskærende melankolsk univers. Men hun givet sig i kast med opgaven på den eneste måde, man kan overfor så stor en digter: give sig selv fuldt ud, sprænge sine grænser, søge ind i sin sjæls bundløse dyb og lade nuet strømme igennem en. Det er lykkedes for Kasia Banas. Rigtigt godt, endda. Tom Jørgensen, redaktør af Kunstavisen
