Abstrakcja jako źródło inwencji twórczej: granice wolności artystycznej widziane przez pryzmat semioetyki

The research framework announced in the title reflects a dual structure of this paper – conceptual and methodological. The central argument of the conceptual section is that abstraction constitutes a fundamental form of inventive activity for creators of works of art. Hereto, various types of imaginative transformations of features abstracted from real objects are also presented. The methodological part, as indicated in the subtitle, evaluates various modifications of aspects and components in artistic designs that result from creative elaboration. It poses the question of whether the expression form to represent the content of a given artwork is aligned with widely accepted ethical principles, and to what extent the creation falls within the scope of semioethics – that is, the moral responsibility of its creators. Special attention is given to the intentionality and emotional resonance of the communication through works of art with a focus on social and political trends, as well as the sensitivity of certain audiences to taboo subjects or potential blasphemy perceived as offensive to the dignity of religious or cultural communities. The conceptual and methodological components form the foundation for the third, analytical part of the paper. The source material for detailed analysis consists of descriptions of selected art exhibitions displayed in public or private galleries, alongside audience reactions as described in various transmedial forms of journalistic discourses available on social media platforms.
