A straight line, one of the basic concepts of geometry, is a special case of the curve unlimited on both sides. We see such a line in all the works of Paweł Kupiec, although it undergoes specific transformations – Kupiec’ paintings and drawings present crumpled pages. Thus, the original shape of the line is reconstructed from a surface that has been destroyed in an effective way. The quality of the works is also attractive, as they are very focused and sensitive in their realistic expression.

The first painting from the “Straight Line” series was created in 2010, in the following years the artist continued this idea in various techniques.
