As
Alessandro Mendini states in his introduction for Praxis, Christian
Narkiewicz-Laine […] "glides
with skillful nonchalance from praxis to theory, mastering
techniques, proceedings and installations. With widely divergent
icons he constructs an artistic synthesis that is the fruit of a
complex and highly intellectual mental collage. His word is as strong
as it is classical, as abstract as it is pragmatic – permanently
entrusted to the kind of freedom only eclecticism concedes. This
translates to continual renewal and vouches for openness toward the
future. The regenerated ready-made, the elegance of symbolic
graphics, the performance on land-art scale, the drama of action
painting, the large pneumatic submarine, the protest poster, the
fineness of Delft porcelain, the staging of one’s own
assassination, the poetic phrases, the classification of weapons of
mass destruction, the memento mori, the museum façade with recycled
fabrics, the billboards, the collecting of urine, and references to
Fragonard. This whole collection of conceptual and physical material,
processed and exhibited with delicacy, converge to constitute the big
museum of work of an artist-architect and visionary designer, whose
noble vocation for humanitarian activism and social justice becomes
the leitmotif of a poetic existence that is a great testimony of
peace."
