RYSUNEK · TUSZ NA PAPIERZE

Each plate is a single continuous act of attention — a city that exists only on paper.

Maciej Małecki draws by hand, in ink, on paper — frequently on millimetre graph paper, the surveyor's grid still visible beneath the structures it can no longer contain. There is no digital stage, no render, no undo.

The work sits between blueprint and reliquary — the cold precision of the technical drawing crossed with the obsessive ornament of cathedral and circuit.

Maciej Małecki OPENING NIGHT

A practice given entirely to the line.

Małecki works alone and slowly, in ink, refusing the shortcuts of the screen. The drawings are built the way buildings used to be — by hand, to the limit of the hand.
