oskar derych - Unseen Tango

UNSEEN TANGO. RAW SURREAL SERIES 100 x 80 cm “I'm not interested in how people move, but in what moves them.”
— Pina Bausch
Dance is merely a way of expressing the invisible. Beneath the skin of a gesture, there is no anatomy — only pure impulse, an afterimage of emotion, a habit cast into space before the mind has time to name it. This is not a painting about the movement of the body. It is a record of what forces that body to move.


Oskar Derych, visual and sound artist, art historian and former Vice-Rector for Development at the European Academy of Arts, lives and works in Warsaw.
His works have been presented at prestigious exhibitions and displays in key European cultural centers, including Venice, London, and Zurich. His art attracts the attention of collectors seeking authentic, moving narratives and deep emotional engagement in contemporary painting. Something more than decoration matching curtains or a TV frame. The works of Oskar Derych have found a place among collectors in Amsterdam, Paris, Bruges, London, Hobro, The Hague, Brussels, and Warsaw.

The artist rejects the pursuit of unnatural, contemporary perfection. His exploration is devoted to discovering imperfection, broken connections, and transgression as the ultimate form of expression. The rejection of academic manners is rooted in the aesthetics of error, raw style. Strangeness, intentional error, and imperfection are perceived not as flaws, but as allies of authenticity. Scars and traces of life are the truest reflection of our struggles.

In his work, he does not limit himself to a single style or character of painting; he freely explores and chooses his style to suit the presented theme. He also works in series dedicated to a specific order and conceptual subject and structure.
