With Red Ribbon
2025
With Red Ribbon presents an unglazed ceramic stoneware relief that draws immediate attention to the expressive tension between raw material and deliberate mark. Strzelecki works within a compressed, shallow depth of just four and a half centimeters, yet the composition achieves a sculptural presence that exceeds its modest dimensions. The absence of glaze is a considered choice, leaving the stoneware's natural surface to register every gesture, pressure, and texture with unmediated honesty. The red ribbon of the title introduces a chromatic and symbolic counterpoint to the neutral warmth of the clay, functioning as both a formal anchor and a quietly charged motif that invites multiple readings. Krzysztof Strzelecki occupies a distinctive position among contemporary artists working at the boundary of painting and sculpture, and this piece demonstrates his sustained interest in the ceramic object as a space for psychological and pictorial inquiry. Measuring 23.1 by 17.4 centimeters, the work is intimate in scale, suited to close and sustained looking rather than commanding spectacle. That intimacy is central to its effect. The tactile surfaces reward careful attention, and the sense that the hand was never far from the final form lends the piece a quality of directness rarely achieved in more technically mediated media. Signed by the artist and offered through Anat Ebgi, With Red Ribbon represents a compelling point of entry into Strzelecki's practice for collectors drawn to works that sit confidently between disciplines. The piece dates to 2025, placing it within the artist's current productive period, and its condition as unframed allows the collector flexibility in presentation, whether displayed on a shelf, a ledge, or mounted against a wall where the shallow relief reads as an object in true dialogue with its surroundings.
