Aleksander Kobzdej said of his painting and sculpture objects "Hors cadre" (without frames): "I am passionate about searching for the interdependence of metaphysical space with physical space. I want the apt meeting of the shape and scale of the relief with the color scale, the alignment of these two incommensurable formations to determine the emotional and content content content."
