Mixed media (oil, charcoal and pencil) on paper, 67 x 98 cm, including frame 73 x 105 cm. Signed Tomasz Tatarczyk and dated 1992.
Black ruts in wet snow. You can almost feel the moisture and hear the clattering sound of a car driving forward on the muddy road. Silhouettes of dark fir trees in a snow-white landscape undulate like a cardiogram. Tomasz Tatarczyk's works evoke a physical sensation and convey an experience of sound and presence. The palette is reduced to black and white tones and the motifs are cropped so that it becomes almost abstract compositions.
Tomasz Tatarczyk (Poland, 1947—2010) is known for his contemplative works based on careful observations of his immediate surroundings. Studies of a closed gate, roads, hills, canyons and water turn into stills in an ongoing story where the focus is on the experience of a close contact with nature. In his almost monochrome works he wanted to capture reality but also a reflective meditative state. The rhythmic brushstroke, in which he builds up a surface and texture with small short brushstrokes, reinforces this appropriation. His paintings, which often appear dark and melancholic at first glance, reveal on closer inspection a deeper reflection on human existence and the eternal cycles of nature.
Born in Katowice in 1947, Tatarczyk began his studies at Warsaw University of Technology where he studied from 1966 to 1972. Subsequently, he continued his artistic education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw from 1976 to 1981, where he studied under Jan Tarasin's direction. During the period 1980—1988 he served as an assistant in the Academy's painting faculty. Tatarczyk divided his time between Warsaw and his house near Kazimierz, where nature and landscape became his natural source of inspiration.
Tatarczyk is regarded as one of the most significant contemporary artists in Poland and he made his debut in 1984 at the legendary Galeria Foksal in Warsaw. In 2008 he received The Jan Cybis Award.

Welcome to Stockholms Auktionsverk's The Exclusive Collection – a celebration of the most magnificent expressions of art and craftsmanship. This year’s catalogue is a masterpiece in itself, featuring exquisite objects that span centuries of artistic brilliance, with each piece carrying a unique story and an air of timeless elegance.
Among the auction’s most outstanding highlights is an exceptional work by the Spanish Baroque master Jusepe de Ribera – a dramatic and powerful composition showcasing his signature play of light and shadow and intense realism. This is a rare opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs to acquire an original work by one of the 17th century’s most significant artists.
The Swedish animal and nature painter Bruno Liljefors is represented by an impressive collection – an entire artistic universe where foxes prowl through snowy landscapes and birds are captured mid-flight. Liljefors' ability to combine scientific precision with poetic visual language makes his art a timeless source of fascination.
In the same spirit of artistic excellence, an original work by Marc Chagall is also featured – a vibrant and dreamlike piece where color and form harmonize with fairytale-like imagery and the symbolism of love. This work not only celebrates Chagall’s visionary artistry, but is also part of modern art history.
Among the highlights of the decorative arts is a magnificent chest of drawers signed by royal cabinetmaker Lorentz Nordin – a masterpiece of marquetry with beautiful elements and exquisite bronze details. It is accompanied by a unique mirror with blue glass, a decorative and rare feature that offers a refined interplay of color, light, and reflection – both pieces exemplifying the height of sophisticated interior culture and craftsmanship. Also noteworthy are a pair of elegant chests of drawers once owned by the daughter of artist Carl Larsson, whose provenance adds further cultural and historical significance.
For those seeking exquisite craftsmanship beyond the canvas, the auction also features a refined selection of silverware. Together, these objects create a complete experience of beauty, history, and collector’s value – a true tribute to the exceptional.
