Presence presents the paintings of Łukasz Patelczyk as a space where two fundamental orders meet: the forces of nature and geometric structure.
OTWARCIE WYSTAWY
The artist combines the language of abstraction with landscape, creating works in which nature appears in its primordial state, untouched by human activity -free from buildings, roads, or traces of civilisation. It is nature in its purest, almost sacred form: a place of contemplation and freedom. In contrast, geometric forms become signs of consciousness – traces of thought inscribed into the organic fabric of the world. They do not dominate the landscape but enter into dialogue with it, establishing a subtle balance between intuition and reason.
Patelczyk tells no stories and engages in no external ideological or political discourse. His painting remains an act of contemplation – a meditation on the relationship between chaos and order, between the untamed and the constructed. The surface of the canvas becomes a place where these two forces coexist, nature and geometry defining one another rather than competing. The works do not seek to resolve these tensions; instead, they remain open, inviting attentive looking and individual reflection.
