It can be strange the way we can move so effortlessly between worlds, blending seamlessly from work to home, city to country.  In these paintings by Polish artist Grazyna Smalej, small figures seem to slip in and out of the abstracted backgrounds.

 

Sometimes it can feel like we’re stuck in one world, unable to move over to the next.  Or maybe we’re slowly, imperceptibly dissolving over, the way Smalej’s figures seem to stand alone and yet blend in.  They are on the verge.
