Description

As a painter, graphic artist, poster artist, teacher of many generations of artists, and professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Tomasz Żołnierkiewicz’s artistic practice is very versatile, including drawing, painting, watercolour graphics, and posters. His body of work includes abstract paintings, lettrist, constructivist and relief compositions as well as tachisme-inspired art. His paintings reveal his fascination with different topics over the course of his career. Tomasz Żołnierkiewicz’s works have been part of many exhibitions and collections in Poland, the United States, France, Belgium, and Germany, such as the National Museum, Warsaw, Poland; Biennale Plakatu, Katowice, Poland; Fundation Stefana Gierowskiego, Warsaw, Poland; Museum of the Academy of Fine Arts, Warsaw, Poland; Galeria Sudio, Warsaw, Poland, and many others. 

 

The geometric abstractions of Tomasz Żołnierkiewicz evoke space, heavenly bodies, and astrology. Often inspired by classical music (Chopin and Bach in particular), they try to transform the language of sound into the language of images. Żołnierkiewicz produced a large body of written paintings, meaning entire stretches of canvases covered with handwriting and words superimposed onto earlier writing to form illegible palimpsests. His works repurpose common shapes and images that we encounter in our daily lives to create cohesive pieces that tells their own story. The majority Żołnierkiewicz’s oeuvre is non-referential, meaning that his works exist within themselves and do not call the viewer to associate them with anything external.
