Tomasz Kręcicki Hanging, 2024

Hanging emphasizes the visceral, multisensory aspect of Kręcicki’s painted world. The work features a yellow surface that suggests a wall, in a way, anticipating its own installation: hanging from the pictured nail. The delicate faultlines drawn in the yellow surface surrounding the nail allow us not only to retrospectively hear the noise of a drill or hammer but also to intuit the anxious anticipation of greater disaster. In this sense, Kręcicki's works playfully combine references to familiar activities and mundane objects with allusions to a generalized unease and larger social issues.
