Marcin Kokoszko, Meanders II, 2024

oil on canvas, 100,00 x 100,00 cm

Born in Warsaw in 1986. In his work, he is inspired by old animations created in Western culture and fanciful album covers from the progressive rock movement of the 1970s/80s. He treats his imaginary landscapes as a medium for conveying the most varied metaphysical, nostalgic or anxious states. An extremely important and overriding role in them is played by a kind of emptiness, and this is because in this way, he gives himself, and every viewer, the space to place his own person, in each painting. The viewer, standing in front of it, becomes an integral part of it. His paintings are in private collections at home and abroad. He has presented works at MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Cracow, Kordegarda Gallery in Warsaw, and Künstlerforum in Bonn (Germany), among others.
