PROVENANCE:
- private collection, Poland.
(...) I saw figurativeness slowly going away, the world defined by frames being left aside. It wasn't abstraction at all, but a record, a reduction, a synthesis of the world. With time, the composition opened up to the walls, to space (...) The stretcher, that magic stretcher from school, ceased to exist for me, and the whole environment became simply a sub-image - Leon Tarasewicz.
Leon Tarasewicz's serigraphs date from late 1990 and early 1991, when the artist, at the invitation of Paolo Cardazza, participated in an art workshop in Venice. Among other things, it was then that he created a series of serigraphs, which were presented at the International Biennale of Graphics in Ljubljana. It is worth noting that the motif of oval concentric stripes suggesting, for example, a plowed field, was also used by the painter in monumental canvases. One of them, dating from 1990, was presented during Leon Tarasewicz's exhibition at Berlin's Fahnemann Gallery, another is in the collection of the Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, while another, dating from 1993, is in the collection of Warsaw's Zachęta Gallery (inv. no. M-698).
