Tomasz Kręcicki Plant, 2025/2026

The center of this work is occupied by a young potted plant, its slender stem supported by a thin stake and bearing a sparse cluster of dark green leaves. The terracotta pot, depicted in smooth, muted tones of deep brown, sits on a matching saucer against a warm ochre background. Executed in oil on canvas at a near one-to-one scale with a real houseplant, the work belongs to Kręcicki's ongoing series depicting potted plants in domestic settings. The motif implies human presence and the passage of time: someone has staked and tended this plant, situating it within a history of care.
