Lukasz Patelczyk's paintings are built on the principle of contrast between classical landscape painting and abstraction. In a collection of works presented in 2021 at the monographic exhibition The Coexistence at New York's Slag Gallery, the artist experiments with composition, trying to achieve the effect of looking at the landscape through stained glass.
The use of a limited range of colors, the combination of a view of boundless nature with non-representational painting, and the gradual gradation of colors influence the creation of an interesting hybrid. As Karolina Majewska-Güde points out, the structural repetition happening within each painting is the result of the juxtaposition of two contrasting elements: landscape and abstract composition; the photo-realistic representation of nature with the disciplined shape of the stain. Both surfaces are conceptually and technically closed. Patelczyk repetitively demonstrates his competence as a painter. On the other hand - he performs a certain custom, convention, or mannerism.
