Przemek Pyszczek

Pyszczek’s works deal with the utopian aspects of Polish architecture in the post-communist era. Following his family’s emigration from Poland to Canada during his childhood and his later studies in the field of architecture in Winnipeg, Pyszczek laid the focus on the phenomenon of mass-produced residential blocks, in particular on the embellishment of their façades and building structures, extending to the surrounding environment and then to urban systems. With his works, the artist makes references to colours, forms, specific visual features, ornaments, graphic structures and material situations, which he recombines, condenses and overlaps to create new relationships and contexts. ...

The Galerie Derouillon, founded by Benjamin Derouillon, opened its doors in September 2012 at 38 rue Notre Dame de Nazareth in the Haut-Marais district, which is emerging as one of the new poles of contemporary art in Paris, with the desire to defend a young generation of French and international artists. The programme offers a singular vision of today's art in its diversity of modes of expression, with a particular emphasis on painting, sculpture and installations. The selection of artists has in common a demanding and playful work that breaks with established codes.
