GRIMM is delighted to announce the international representation of Polish artist Rafał Topolewski in collaboration with Alice Amati in London (UK). Drawing on dreams and memories imbued with an architectural sense of depth and balance, Topolewski’s work captures the liminal space between waking and sleeping. Barbed botanical subjects creep across the canvas, clock faces dissolve into landscapes, and vacant, glassy-eyed faces evoke the disjointed logic of the dream, balancing abstraction with a deft figurative approach. This fusion of fragmented objects with a softly muted palette and hazy, stippled brushstrokes creates the uncanny atmosphere unique to Topolewski’s work. The artist’s first exhibition with GRIMM in Amsterdam (NL), Slumber, continues until 6 April 2024. His work will also be featured in the upcoming group exhibition Self-Portraits at GRIMM, New York, NY (US).
