b'With a practice that alternates between abstract and more figurative painting, Waldemar Kolbusz works come naturally charged with a high energy. His large and richly painted canvases pulsate and move, creating an ongoing dialogue with the works. Kolbusz works in a fluid way, often resolving numerous paintings simultaneously, and whilst a significant shift in thinking is required to move between the different genres, his cerebral approach informs and nourishes the work; allowing freedom in the figurative works and giving shape to the abstract.Kolbusz paintings have been commissioned for major projects Australia-wide and collected nationally and internationally. His works are included in significant private and corporate collections around the country such as The Wangarratta Regional Art Gallery, CROWN, KPMG, Four Seasons Hotel, Macau and Clayton Utz.3'
