Exhibition summary

This exhibition features a cycle of paintings by Patryk Różycki that explore the artist's childhood and upbringing in a rural environment marked by social and economic exclusion during the post-communist transformation of the 1990s.

Curatorial context

The exhibition 'Patryk Różycki. Transformation' presents a poignant series of paintings that delve into the artist’s own history, specifically focusing on his experiences with economic and social marginalization. By chronicling moments from his life and the lives of his family and friends, Różycki uses art as a vehicle for reflection and growth, moving beyond individual feelings to address broader societal issues like class disparity and inherited shame. His approach utilizes a narrative, simplified realist aesthetic to make these personal histories accessible and universal. The artist notes that examining his own past, including taboo subjects such as alcoholism and financial struggle, has been a central part of his maturing process. By shifting the focus onto the stories of his loved ones, the exhibition offers a thoughtful commentary on the complexity of relationships and the lasting impact of the Polish economic transition.
