Tomasz Kręcicki Dom, 2024/2025

Depicting a key dangling from a lock, Dom was conceived in context of Tomasz Kręcicki’s exhibition Move. The artist, who was anticipating his own move to another studio space when he conceived of the exhibition, seems to have spun out scenarios of such a relocation. Evoking an entire parallel realm of impressions and even sensations, Kręcicki's paintings become stepping stones for our imagination: The monumentally enlarged details of seemingly ordinary objects amount to brief glimpses, in close-ups, of a narrative that extends into the past and, importantly, will continue. The key with a generic label marked with the Polish word for home (“dom”) can be understood as a symbol of future promise.
