"Untitled (Mariana)" (2025) by Rafał Topolewski acquired by Longlati Foundation, Shanghai

GRIMM is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of Rafał Topolewski's Untitled (Mariana) (2025) by the Longlati Foundation, Shanghai (CN). This work was first presented in the artist's solo exhibition titled Smoulders at GRIMM, New York, NY (US).

Drawing on dreams and memories imbued with an architectural sense of depth and balance, Rafał Topolewski’s work captures the liminal space between waking and sleeping. 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.
