About The Artist

Henryk Szydlowski

‘All my paintings tell a story … it is vey meaningful to make people happy. I want to shock people, not through ugliness but through beauty’

In this exhibition, Polish born, Perth based Henryk Szydlowski celebrates over 40 years of success as a leading professional artist. Here we have a collection of paintings which joyfully embody the unique skills and compositional sophistication of a contemporary master.

Szydlowski sees himself as a storyteller who adopts the canvas as his theatre. Setting symbols of real life objects against planes of vibrant colour, accentuated with glazes and highlights of gold and silver leaf, Szydlowski's paintings reverberate with a unique and artisically glamourous energy. These elements, long associated with his work, are powerfully evident in this latest collection.
