Tomasz Wójcik’s works are a contemporary reflection of the Pythagorean idea of organizing the world through numerical relationships. A work of art should embody the order and rhythm that surround humanity, bearing witness to the unity of the macrocosm and microcosm. This idea has been reflected for centuries in architecture, music, and the visual arts. The beauty of form was seen as almost touching the sacrum, and any violation of harmony could be considered a sin. Tomasz Wójcik demonstrates that this principle holds true even when the work of art—a work that preserves the knowledge of cathedral builders—is a poster or a book cover. A line that maintains harmonic division becomes a narrative about an all-encompassing unity, integrating the work and the individual who interacts with it into the rhythm of the world.

Tomasz Wójcik的作品是当代对毕达哥拉斯通过数字关系组织世界的理念的反思。艺术作品应体现环绕人类的秩序与节奏,见证宏观宇宙与微观宇宙的统一。这一理念几个世纪以来在建筑、音乐和视觉艺术中得到了体现。形式的美被视为几乎触及神圣,而任何对和谐的破坏都可能被视为罪过。Tomasz Wójcik证明了这一原则在当代依然适用,即使艺术作品——一件保存着教堂建筑师知识的作品——是海报或书籍封面。一条保持和谐分割的线条,成为关于包容性统一的叙事,将作品与与之互动的个体融入世界的节奏中。
