Marcin Maciejowski
Marcin Maciejowski (born June 14, 1974 in Babice near Cracow) is a Polish painter and draftsman who lives in Cracow .
Life
Maciejowski first studied architecture from 1994 to 1997 at the Technical University of Krakow . From 1996 to 2001 he studied graphics in the poster class of Piotr Kunce at the Cracow Academy of Art , from which he graduated with a diploma. Maciejowski is a co-founder of the “Ladnie Group” and founder and curator of the “Open Gallery” in Krakow.
Maciejowski's works are shaped by his graphic training, the paintings often resemble overexposed photographs. Luminous primary colors dominate in front of light backgrounds, facial details of people are often missing entirely or have a caricature-like effect. Often the images also have a military touch.
From 1998 to 2000 he was editor of the magazine "We wtorek" ("On Tuesday"). He drew a weekly cartoon series for “Przekrój Magazine”.
