Lipowczan
Jack
Lipowczan was born in 1951 in Poland. He attended the most
important Polish art college - the Academy of Fine Arts in
Krakow, which he finished in 1976 obtaining a Master’s
Degree in Graphic-Design. Directly after his studies, he worked
as an Assistant Scene Designer for the Polish Film Studios
and also had a few exhibitions showing his works: oil-paintings
and drawings.
Jack left Poland in 1981 and lived in Sweden, Australia, and
finally settled in Germany. Until 2002, he worked as an Art
Director, first in a film studio, and then in different advertising
agencies.
Since 2003 Jacek has been devoting his life to painting and
working as an independent artist-painter and illustrator.
Jack Lipowczan was always fascinated by the art of Hieronymus
Bosch, Peter Breugel, Holbein, and, later in life, by the
artists of the Italian Renaissance. Those influences can be
clearly seen in his paintings, which show meticulous attention
to detail, composition and colour.
Jack’s style of painting can be best expressed as fantastic
realism intertwined with surrealism. He has a very personal
attitude to his art: his paintings are the ironic but benevolent
synthesis of life seen through the mirror of the soul. Each
one of Jack’s paintings has a few allegorical stories
to tell, but he leaves the interpretation to the spectator.
