Bartłomiej Gucma
Girl in a Red Dress
This April, ArtBrut Gallery presents "Girl in a Red Dress", a painting exhibition by Bartłomiej Gucma.
In one of the works presented at the ArtBrut Gallery exhibition in 2025, the artist created a portrait of a woman based on her unsent correspondence, discovered in the attic of a tenement building.
These letters, filled with personal reflections and unspoken thoughts, became the inspiration for capturing the emotions and mysteries preserved within the writings. Recognizing something unique in this unread and unfinished story, the artist decided to recreate its essence in a painting, revealing intimate and hidden fragments of a life.
The painter’s obsessive search for "this one and that one" allows the viewer to encounter a woman who is both muse and apparition, almost a phantom of a mad seeker longing for her physical presence.
