The first solo exhibition of Sainer (Przemysław Blejzyk) in Austria – “Colorganism” – will open on 16 April 2025. Works combining painting and digital generative art will be presented at Vienna’s Künstlerhaus. This is yet another event organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of international cultural programme of the Polish Presidency of the EU Council.
“Colorganism” – Harmony of forms and colours
Przemysław Blejzyk (Sainer) transcends traditional notions of composition and space, treating his works as pieces of a larger puzzle in which the viewer becomes the central point. Immersed in a kaleidoscope of forms and colours, the viewer moves through the exhibition guided by colour – the main narrator and element cementing the entire exhibition. The colours create dynamic compositional loops, guiding observers’ gaze between the works, and their relationships build an intricate mesh of visual connections, thus the title “Colorganism”. The entire exhibition is a unique attempt at showing art as a living and pulsating organism. In this artistic ecosystem, no image functions in isolation – each of them coexists with the others, creating a complex, harmonious whole.
Sainer’s works cannot be confined within the established boundaries of the artistic medium. Combining painting and digital generative art, the artist creates multi-element structures that blur the distinction between static and dynamic, analogue and digital. The interpenetration of these worlds creates an impression of constant movement and changeability. In doing so, Blejzyk studies the relationship between form and time, exploring how a static work of art can evolve before the viewer’s eyes.
Research background of Sainer’s artistic practice
Przemysław Blejzyk (Sainer) is a graduate of the Faculty of Graphic Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. An important part of his art practice is the study and development of formal processes found in painting, murals, and digital art. The artist explores the mechanisms of nature and landscape representations to create multi-element compositions that seek new ways of representing reality in the visual arts.

Blejzyk offers a contemporary interpretation of the fundamental concepts of vision and perception, developed by Władysław Strzemiński and Wassily Kandinsky. He draws on their theoretical considerations and artistic practice, exploring colour and form as autonomous means of expression and examining the relationship between art and the viewer’s evolving perception of it.
Kandinsky introduced the idea of art as a language of pure expression. He viewed form, line, point, and colour as independent entities capable of building abstract harmony. Blejzyk develops this concept by exploring the formal aspects of painting. The colours in his works pulsate, intermingle, and reinforce one another, thus creating dynamic, multi-level visual structures.
Strzemiński, studying the historical evolution of vision, recognised that perception changes with the progress of civilisation, technology, and culture. Blejzyk addresses this reflection by analysing the contemporary visual experience at a time when we are surrounded by screens, large numbers of images, and digital media on a daily basis. He is looking for a painting language that not only addresses this new reality, but also enters into a dialogue with it, redefining the relationship between traditional painting matter and contemporary means of expression.
“Colorganism” exhibition at the Künstlerhaus in Vienna will be open to the public until 27 April 2025. Its curator is Agata Abramowicz. The exhibition was organised in cooperation with the Künstlerhaus in Vienna, the National Museum in Gdańsk, and the Embassy of the Republic of Poland and the Polish Institute in Vienna.
