Representative of a generation of painters debuting in the late 1970s just before the outbreak of the "Solidarity" social revolt, which caused a complete transformation of the hitherto prevailing cultural and political codes of the declining communist Poland. In this situation, painters especially sought to redefine the sources of inspiration for painting and to establish the possibility of expressing themselves through this media in the face of rapid changes of historical significance. As it seems, the work of Andrzej Zwierzchowski is a particular example of this situation. After all, this artist, preserving the fullness of the painting technique with all its attractiveness and exuberance, was a student of Jacek Sienicki and was able to refer to the new social, political , cultural situation with form, sign, color and gesture. He was born in ... Zwierzchowski is a graduate of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts Painting, studied in 1974-1979, graduating with Jacek Sienicki. Currently he runs a studio of painting and drawing at the Faculty of Interior Design of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.
