Made in USA

The direct inspiration for the “Made in USA” series was a trip to the United States, during which Piotr Szczur experienced the beauty and unusual diversity of the landscape along the famous Route 66. In his latest paintings, the artist presents America in compression, closes huge spaces in often very small canvas formats, and extracts the essence from reality. In the American landscape, painted by Piotr Szczur, people are mostly absent. A special place is occupied by the sky, which often takes possession of a significant part of the composition. It is there that the main action of the play is usually performed, and through it the artist constructs a narrative. - Marcin Krajewski
