When I first saw the illustrations, I had to find the artist. These illustrations were full of irony and satire. The paintings demonstrated that the artist had a lively and wry intelligence, but who was it?With a bit of internet sleuthing, I found him. He is Pawel Kuczynski (1976-). He graduated from the Fine Arts Academy of Pozan, Poland, with a major in graphics art. He is internationally recognized artist and has received many awards for his finely detailed illustrations.
Kuczynski has a penchant for a satirical approach to subjects of politics, governments, the environment, as well as social and human behaviors.
Now that you've had a bit of an intro, let these profound images speak for themselves. Let me know what you think. (To fully enjoy detail, please click on image to enlarge.)
Wow! He really drives home the issues of humans and their behaviors - definitely ironic. Love them! Len

It's one of my favorites, too.
DeleteHe's amazing. I'd love to be able to sit down with him and just soak up his wit. sz
ReplyDeleteConsidering your present art project, it would be timely to visit him.
DeleteI love these Ruminations on Art and Life, you are so creative to do this. Thank you! MAR
ReplyDeleteI always worry that such artists have no buyers for their works. Though they make a statement, can they make a living with their art? Or is their art an expression of their themselves, while they must make a living in other ways? Mary
ReplyDeleteGosh, Mary, I dunno. Not many artists make a living with their art. This is a historical fact, so I'd take a guess that he probably does other graphics work besides his paintings.
