Leszek Skurski’s (b. Gdańsk, 1973; lives and works in Fulda and Mallorca) black-and-white paintings often depict instants of precariously poised pause amid an action he captures in focused density. Each of the four small-format squares shows a seated female figure absorbed by a book. Skurski deftly conveys the situation and its atmosphere of calm in a few spare brushstrokes or lines drawn with the palette knife.

Catalogue raisonné Vol. 1: Works from 1990–202459€ Add to cartLeszek Skurski (b. Gdańsk, 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.
