ROBERT KAMECZURA

Mr. Kameczura created his "Aynjills" series specifically for this exhibition. "'Aynjills' are different, though related creatures to 'Angels'. 'Aynjills are a select type of creature in this family of 'winged spirits'", remarks Kameczura. "They are human-like creatures composed of some indeterminate diaphanous form of matter," he states. "The wings are not for lift as this would violate the laws of physics, they are rather for navigation. Lift is provided by a special power that Aynjills have. Aynjills are from a half a dimension away and occasionally wander into our world. When here, they do good things because they are wise and enlightened beings. They prefer to visit earth on star filled nights and are fascinated by anything that glows in the dark. They like music, beautiful objects and children. Preferring not to be seen, their good deeds often save lives. Sailors sometimes see lights in the fog which help them avoid rocky shores. These lights are often the work of Aynjills."

Robert is a self-taught artist, with a B.A. in Poetry and Creative Writing from Columbia College. He is also a photographer and professional calligrapher. His artwork has been exhibited at the University of Illinois at Springfield, Fermilab Art Gallery, Builder's Bank Gallery, Joliet College, Artemesia Gallery, and at the Polish Consulate of Chicago, just to name a few. Robert's work was previously exhibited at Bailiwick in Anatomically Correct's exhibition "Shakespeare in Art".
