"The
work of Piotr Krosny is formally sophisticated and executed
in oils with a sensuous impasto technique. These paintings
of solitary figures rely on expressionism and not realism
to reveal a portrait which becomes psychological. The works
are untitled, emphasising the ambiguity of the actual relationship
between the painter and the personality. Krosny uses lush
coloration and abstracted spaces to create worlds that both
unsettle and seduce."
Kim Shkapich, curator and art critic in New York |

"The
characters look out from the paintings. Silent and
somewhat distorted they appear in front of the eye and become
images. The bodies are too small for the heads and the faces
are slant-eyed, almost deformed. The hands sprawl clumsily
with only four fingers, hiding or highlighting the gender
- shameless and sad. The background reminds one of old boudoirs
in their heavy sensuality. The figures inside the frame
do not cry out for attention — they are just there."
Agneta Klingspor, art critic in Stockholm
