Patryk Staruch

Patryk Staruch (b. 1999), is a Polish painter exploring the parallel of urban topography and the complexity of the human psyche, while highlighting the myth- making role of film and photography. His art practice has traces of autobiography blurred by cultural stratifications. Fascinated by the French New Wave, he analyze the constraints and pitfalls of everyday life, using flanerism as the main method of telling about the urban and social relations. Night has a significant role in his paintings, representing the time when it’s easiest to face yourself or the other person, allowing an escape from the daytime attention deficit.
