Marek Bieganik - Fish on a boat

From the large number of his assemblages/material images, which were acquired by public institutes (savings banks, banks), private companies and collectors, the work offered here stands out due to its initially puzzling pictorial invention: "Fish on the boat". The work of the Polish painter Marek Bieganik suggests a picture-in-picture composition : a frame encloses the pictorial motif ("Fish on the Boat"). The work is painted in radiantly dramatic and warm colors and is reminiscent of the tradition of chunky vanitas painting. Marek Bieganik (*1952) studied painting and lithography at the Warsaw Art Academy. Since 1980 he has been working as a freelance artist. He has shown his drawings and paintings in numerous exhibitions in Germany (where he has lived since 1994) and in other European countries.
