Jerzy KONSTANTYNOWICZ (b. 1965), Onomatopoeia, 2019

mixed technique (acrylic, pencil), paper, 50 x 52 cm, signed at the bottom: JK 2019

His workshop, shaped solely by intuition and autodidactics, includes all modes and tools of drawing, as well as acrylic painting and his own mixed techniques, rarely oil, and applied graphics. The style is free and not subject to any classification, often close to surrealism. He plays with plastic matter and plays with various conventions, likes to use elements of the language of tradition, however, transforms them in his own way. In some paintings one can see motifs commenting on contemporary reality, allusive references to customs, and sometimes an ascetic message similar to a poster. Spontaneity and indiscipline are important features. The author allows himself to be carried away by fantasy, and there is sometimes a lot of irony and self-irony in his works. He has participated in more than a dozen group exhibitions: including 'Unframed | Without Frames' at the Podlaskie Museum in Bialystok (2019), Bialystok's Marchand Independent Art Gallery, the 17th and 18th editions of the National and International Painting Exhibition of Doctors in Lodz, at the Marriott Hotel in Warsaw during the Interdisciplinary Academy of Practical Medicine (2019), in the space of the Atrium Reduta Shopping Center in Warsaw ("Painting Ladder" 2022). Individual exhibitions: "Nieoczywiste" at the Focus Premium Hotel in Lublin (2022), "I will show you" at the Parter Gallery|Podlaska Bookstore in Bialystok (November-December 2022), "Fragments and wholes" as part of the Twórcze Tworki exhibition at the Palace on the Utrata River (2023), "Sketchownikliwość" (District Medical Chamber in Bialystok, 2024).
