To infinity and beyond!

On a spring day in Warsaw in 1965, Roman Opalka began to obsessively paint numbers in rising order, starting with number one. That’s how his big life project “Opalka 1965/ 1-∞” began. Opalka chose not to paint figures, landscapes or abstract signs. Instead, he painted time. His numbers in fact correspond to every second of his life, which he entirely dedicated to art. Opalka believed that figurative art died after impressionism; it no longer had sense. For this reason, he decided to celebrate the end of painting, with a painting! He worked on a single enormous painting up to the day of his death in 2011.
