However all of them share a common deep sensibility of the author which reflects both political, moral and aesthetic aspects of reality. In his works, Sasnal extends different feelings, emotions and events which he has experienced.

"MAP TRAP"

Warsaw, Raster Gallery, February 29 - May 1, 2004

Wilhelm Sasnal is an artist who consistently manifests an unusual sensitivity to the reality that surrounds us. His works are exquisite comments to the imagery we face in the artistic and political realms. His paintings seem to ask a key question about the emotions that are elicited by images (in the realms of photography, film and painting) in our private and public lives. The artist's subjects have included spools of magnetic tape, wall sockets, supermarket and travel office leaflets, the covers of well-known record albums, photographs from geographical albums, a vacation postcard, and a painting by Jerzy Nowosielski.
