- The human figure has been present in Łakomy’s work since the early stages of his practice, when he loosely adopted Le Corbusier’s Modulor as his initial system of measurement. Even works of a completely abstract nature, whether assemblages the size of doors or windows, or three-dimensional sculptures suspended from the ceiling, are confined to anthropometric dimensions and proportions. With similar consistency, the artist references domestic spaces and their essential elements, such as the hallway, living room, and bedroom.
- Łakomy’s exhibitions always evoke a sense of inhabitation. When discussing his painting practice, the artist emphasises the aspect of movement within that space. His latest works push back against the flat representation of screens and, ultimately, the passive consumption of content. Through the richness of textures and the flickering of cellular structures, they provoke movement around them. Łakomy takes a step towards figuration, but the forms of his ‘phantoms’ disintegrate into fragments or sharpen unexpectedly from a certain angle, appearing only spectrally. The viewer encounters only traces of them, and their recent visits.
