Łukasz Olek: Synthesis of Reality, Memories, and Abstraction
The paintings of Łukasz Olek invite us to experience the world as seen through his eyes—a world in which each landscape is a personal study of memories, emotions, and the transient beauty of the surroundings.
Born in Warsaw in 1982, he has frequently exhibited his paintings in prestigious galleries worldwide. He is represented by galleries in Poland, the United States, France, Japan, Korea, and Australia, reflecting his growing international recognition. The artist also regularly participates in art fairs, including in London, New York, Amsterdam, Warsaw, and Paris. His works have found several hundred buyers from around the globe.
Olek's works are a synthesis of landscape fragments, reducing them to their elementary forms of color, light, and texture.
“Blinkered – having or showing a narrow or limited outlook”
Blinkered is a section of the world seen through a photographic lens and translated into the language of abstract painting. Author invites us to engage in aesthetic vivisection of the work and to inspect the hidden details on the surface. It has the effect of dualistic perception where large-format images draw the attention as close to the detail as possible.
The “Blinkered” landscapes are heterogeneous, but at the same time distinctive scrap of space has been narrowed down to just a few pixels, and then magnified to a large-format image. The figurative is therefore reduced to its basic and most crucial formal essence.
