This Is Not Disney World - Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting, Ironic Portrait

2008/09

Tomasz Bielak born in Lublin in 1967. He graduated of The Academy of Fine Arts, Painting and Graphics Design Department in Gdańsk, in 1994. He realized installation art, graphics press, large format murals, sculpture and painting. In all these areas, in addition to artistic workshop, the most important thing is his message of the work, the message contained therein. He believe that "art" is one of many languages (perhaps even more sophisticated than others) that humanity learned to lead the discourse at a level different than just verbal. He indentify with the principle "if you have nothing to say - be quiet (don't create!)", rejects a purely aesthetic nature of art in itself. His own personal growth and commitment to cultural and social life is understood as a UNITY. Now, after 20 years of living in Gdansk, he lives and works in a family town, Lublin.
