Tomasz Kręcicki Earplugs (yellow), 2024
Oil on canvas
9,4 x 9,8 cm
The intimately-scaled painting depicts a pair of earplugs lying on a flat surface, silhouetted against a black background. The items allude to the presence of a protagonist in need of these tools and transports viewers into the realm of domesticity. The work alludes to difficult nights—the artist, incidentally, has had bouts of insomnia—but in its carefully rendered painterly treatment of these mundane objects also recalls still-life paintings, testament to the artist’s interest in the work of Paul Cézanne and Giorgio Morandi.
