Zbigniew Rogalski, endowed with outstanding technical skills and a talent for invention, proposes visual experiments that constitute a transgression and sometimes even a reversal of the classical painterly technique of perspective. His innovative approach to painting allows for the discovery of new dimensions and perspectives that surprise and inspire.

The artist invents a new way of seeing, which can be called parallax, corresponding to the latest phenomena in science, technology, and culture. Parallax, in his interpretation, becomes a tool for analyzing and interpreting reality, allowing for an understanding of its complexity and multidimensionality. Rogalski, through his paintings, asks questions and proposes answers using unique visual means.

A unique feature of Rogalski's paintings is that the gaze is embodied in them as a truly painterly matter. One can say that the gaze is materialized in his painting. Rogalski's work can be treated as a visual counterpoint to contemporary theoretical concepts, especially those formulated by thinkers such as Slavoj Žižek, Jacques Lacan, and Paul Virilio. In no case, however, do his paintings constitute an illustration of theoretical theses, but rather a contribution in their own right, raising questions and proposing answers through visual means.
