Andrzej Lichota / born 1972 / Artist, painter, cartoonist, director. A scholar of the Polish Ministry of Culture, 2004, and Erich Pommer Institut, Berlin, 2011. Art director Polish social project "Art Now".
Light clashes with darkness, and from that battle (as in Goethe’s Farbenlehre), colour emerges. Sometimes it glows with hot tones of orange, yellow and red, at other times it exudes cool, as the blues dissolve into whites. Sometimes the light has the advantage, sometimes the darkness and sometimes, it’s the colour.
(...) Andrew Lichota has been building his own language of art based on those traditions for several years now, since he returned to painting after working in other creative art areas, and he is expanding it with striking results.
