Contemporary Art & Design presents Leon Tarasewicz
Leon Tarasewicz
”Ohne titel”
Leon Tarasewicz (b. 1957) is a Polish artist with strong ties to Sweden since he has had a total of eight solo shows at the Swedish Galerie Nordenhake in Stockholm and Berlin. The first one was held as early as 1986 only two years after Tarasewicz graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. The inspiration for his colourful, abstract paintings comes from nature. The large canvases almost always reproduce small sections, shades, and structures that he finds in plants, animals, and landscapes around his home near Białystok in eastern Poland. In his work Tarasewicz examines the inherent nature of colour and painting; he has experimented with structures and colour combinations in paintings on canvas as well as murals and installations.
› Signed Leon Tarasewicz a tergo verso on all three parts. Executed in 1988. Triptych, oil on linen canvas 190 x 390 cm. Estimate 400 000 – 500 000 SEK.
Tarasewicz has a strong international career, where he, among other things, has represented Poland at the Venice Biennial in 2001 and exhibited in cities such as Berlin, Tel Aviv, Rome, and New York. His work is found in all the most important Polish collections and institutions, he is also represented at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Sackler Collection, New York, and George Costakis Collection in Athens, to name a few.
