Leszek Skurski - Werkverzeichnis Band 1: Werke Von 1990-2024 / Catalogue Raisonné Vol. 1: Works from

Leszek Skurski (b. Gdansk, 1973; lives and works in Fulda and Mallorca) is known for his singular and immediately recognizable white paintings. Small black and gray figures emerge from the white landscapes, always set in relation to one another, in pairs or groups. Exposed on the expansive and boundless-seeming plane, they silently tell a story that remains as open-ended as the pictures. In a few spare brushstrokes or lines drawn with the palette knife, Skurski's superb neoimpressionism deftly captures the atmosphere that weighs down on his characters and holds his compositions in suspense. The extensive monograph presents over two thousand works from more than three decades. Essays embed the various bodies of work in their art-historical contexts.
