Monday musing… Polish painter Igor Moritz describes “uncertainty” and “anticipation” as the key emotions at play in his brightly coloured figurative works, depicting men and women in contemporary domestic settings.

His sitters usually appear cosy and contemplative, but the emotive rather than naturalistic use of colour, evocative of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, lends a potent, otherworldly strangeness to the scenes.
