This is a very simple exhibition. You’ll find in it a series of paintings depicting flowers. The flower motif has appeared in Krzysztof’s work before. We showed the first one in the gallery window during the pandemic, in 2020. We were meant to do the exhibition then, but people began falling ill, so we settled for the window. The flowers on a pastel background were placed in two vases and were leaning in toward each other, like people embracing. Krzysztof painted them in response to the news that his acquaintance had been beaten up at Szczepański Square in Krakow.

Ano­ther pic­tu­re of flo­wers, pain­ted in 2022, is cal­led Colors of the Eyes. It depic­ted fan­ned inflo­re­scen­ces, the­ir sha­pe remi­ni­scent of iri­ses. What color are his eyes? What eye color sho­uld they be if he is to be loved?

In his new series, the artist joins two meanings of flo­wers. The first per­ta­ins to pain­ting, color, to tho­se sim­ple things we wri­te abo­ut in eve­ry other text at almost eve­ry pain­ting exhi­bi­tion. The second refe­ren­ce, the more impor­tant one, is to the LGBT com­mu­ni­ty. Flo­wers are like people, they pose, search for the­ir own spa­ce, and mark out boun­da­ries. Hard to say if flo­wers smi­le, becau­se they have no faces, only deli­ca­te bodies. They stand in a cer­ta­in order, but this is no deco­ra­ti­ve para­de; it is more like a line-up or an arran­ge­ment on an eye exam board, whe­re eve­ry­one who doesn’t wear glas­ses will even make out the tiniest leaf, so it’s bet­ter they stick toge­ther.

Krzysz­tof Grzy­bacz stu­died pain­ting in Kra­kow, he makes pain­tings and dra­wings.
