Kolorytm marks the beginning of a trilogy in which Sainer redefines his relationship with colour, landscape, and nature. Emerging from a residency at the Hangar 107 in Normandy, this first chapter unfolds as both a personal exploration and a bold statement: colour is not simply a tool of representation, but the very foundation of a new painterly language.
Through studies, murals, and canvases, the exhibition revealed how form and hue can merge into rhythms that echo the organic structures of the natural world. In these works, landscapes are not portrayed, but rather transformed into dynamic chromatic fields—oscillating between abstraction and figuration, intimacy and monumentality.
This publication offers an insight into where it all began. Before Koloor at the National Museum in Gdańsk and Kolorganism at the Künstlerhaus in Vienna, Kolorytm set the stage for a body of work that continues to evolve, testing the boundaries of painting and inviting us to reconsider how we perceive the world through colour.
