Open City

The mosaic is the result of an exploration of the relationship between the pixel, the line and the plane, in which colour exists as an effect of tension between neighbouring fields. It grows out of Blejzyk’s painterly investigations, particularly his way of perceiving and recording movement in nature. Composed of more than 109,000 elements, the work references Marian Bogusz’s activities as part of the Lublin Art Meetings, for whom working in architectural space was a means of genuinely embedding art within the fabric of the city.

Przemysław Blejzyk (Sainer) – multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of painting, digital and generative art, and art in public space. His current practice focuses on formal aspects and strategies of seeing, through which he explores the relationship between the analogue and digital worlds, seeking to develop a new language for painting. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, where his engagement with the legacy of Władysław Strzemiński and Katarzyna Kobro shaped his approach to space, colour and the role of the viewer. Since 2016, his practice has focused on the synthesis of landscape and abstraction through painting, digital art and generative art. He works with a language of reduction — from the mark and the dot to the pixel — creating compositions that deconstruct the landscape on multiple levels, as well as kinetic images that explore nature through the prism of time and colour.

He has presented solo exhibitions at the National Museum in Gdańsk, Künstlerhaus in Vienna and Centre d’Art Contemporain in Rouen, and has participated in group exhibitions at the Petit Palais and Grand Palais Immersif in Paris, Kordegarda — Gallery of the National Cultural Centre in Warsaw, and Hive Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing.
