Adam Kłodziński | PARTY BOYZ

■ Curator's Note Party Boyz is a powerful manifestation of contemporary urban art and dark surrealism, deeply rooted in personal experience and the raw aesthetics of street culture. The painting depicts three neighborhood boys arriving at a party, each carrying a single contrasting balloon, a subtle symbol of their good intentions. The multi-faced figures originated from a crumpled sheet of paper, carefully illuminated in the studio. By observing the dramatic interplay of light and shadow cast by the paper's folds, these distorted yet profoundly human faces were organically revealed from the darkness. Rather than imposing a predetermined composition, the artist allows the material itself to guide the form. Once the fractured, stone-like faces had taken shape, they were completed with unmistakable elements of street culture: iconic three-striped tracksuits and a glowing crown pendant, placing the characters within the visual language of Eastern European housing estates. The scene unfolds against a deep nocturnal background illuminated by a distant moon, capturing the atmosphere and energy of urban nightlife. ■ About the PAPER CUTZ series In the PAPER CUTZ series, the artist explores the boundary between the tangible and the imagined, transforming the simplest of materials, a sheet of paper, into a vessel for complex human emotions. The title refers not only to the physical medium itself, but also to the subtle yet painful paper cuts that life leaves on our psyche. Each figure emerges from a crumpled sheet of paper: through careful observation of its folds and a precise use of chiaroscuro, hidden faces and forms are revealed within the apparent chaos of its textures. ■ About the artist Adam Kłodziński (MR.SOAPSKI) Adam Kłodziński (aka Mr.Soapski) is a Polish contemporary artist whose practice exists at the intersection of painting, street culture, and dark surrealism. His work explores the relationship between materiality and emotion, transforming raw urban references into psychologically charged visual narratives. In his recent body of work, PAPER CUTZ, Kłodziński moves beyond traditional portraiture by using crumpled sheets of paper as the foundation for each composition. Through a meticulous command of light, shadow, and airbrush technique, he reveals hypnotic, three-dimensional figures emerging from the folds. Rather than inventing his subjects, he discovers them within the paper's chaotic surface, turning accidental forms into emotionally resonant portraits. Each work reflects personal experience while addressing broader themes of identity, resilience, and the individual's relationship with contemporary society. Kłodziński lives and works in Poland. ■ Details Title: PARTY BOYZ Series: PAPER CUTZ Year: 2026 Medium: Mixed media on canvas (spray paint, airbrush, acrylic) Size: 200 × 100 cm (approx. 78.7 × 39.4 in) Framing: Unframed.
