Arranged by size and hue, the blooms in Krzysztof Grzybacz<\/a>\u2019s large-scale oil paintings appear in comfortable togetherness, each individual’s features amplified by its placement next to those that differ. His\u00a0Floral Compositions\u00a0<\/em>series organizes the flowers against swaths of green fabric, exploring their potent symbolism.<\/p>\n

Grzybacz taps into the age-old tradition of flowers in oil, rendering their petals and stems in vibrant hues that capture their unique outlines and textures. Rooted in still life, his compositions are underpinned by abstraction and the artist’s fascination with layering and perspective.<\/p>\n

The works in Grzybacz’s current solo exhibition at Galeria Dawid Radziszewski<\/a> also reference the queer community. “Flowers are like people: they pose, search for their own space, and mark out boundaries,” says a statement from the gallery. The artist nods to the role of order and systems, while also emphasizing the importance of celebrating diversity.<\/p>\n

Grouped together in front of textile folds, oblique grids, or distorted human features, the artist invokes the power of alliances through a sense of tenderness, curiosity, and pliability.<\/p>\n

Floral Compositions <\/em>continues through March 29 in Vienna. Find more on Grzybacz’s website<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
