Jarosław Kozłowski is one of the most outstanding Polish conceptual artists and an initiator of the international artistic network NET. In the 1960’s and 1970’s, he was engaged in analytical reflection, the study of language, and performance art, which positioned him as one of the key figures of conceptual art in Poland.

Jarosław Kozłowski is without a doubt the most expressive representative of conceptual art in Poland. His artistic practice is very versatile, as he uses media such as drawing, installations, art books, photography, and performance in his artistic practice. In the 1980s, Kozłowski began to create large-scale installations in which he criticized how art functions in society; several series of his works were devoted to de-mythologizing art. The drawings from the series Blue Lines ask questions concerning the autonomy of art and the associated relation between art and reality, which encompass issues about the social and political functions of art, its meanings, and analogies. Kozłowski has created numerous artworks over the course of his career in which he deals with the problems inherent in modernist traditions and with the social and political context of art.
