Michał Jan Kozłowski is a post-conceptual artist born in Warsaw, Poland in 1986. Kozlowski studies printmaking and graphic design at the European Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Poland, and graduates with a BA diploma in lithography based around minimalist prints occupied by people with their backs turned to the viewer, de-constructing a poem by Marek Hłasko. Social commentary and reflections on history, both public and private, have often featured in Kozłowski’s artistic practice. As a visiting student of Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Denmark, Kozłowski concentrates on painting and printmaking and is awarded a solo exhibition of paintings that relate to the notion of sub-cultures. In 2011, he receives the Patrick and Kelly Lynch scholarship for MA Fine Art programme at University of the Arts, London, Chelsea College of Art and Design, where he creates an installation of monochrome paintings that emerge from continuous creasing, folding, removing canvas from the stretcher and re-applying it in order to re-asses the idea of monochrome. In his art practice, Kozlowski takes on a retro-utopian perspective by looking into archival images, poetry, and subculture related materials to generate the work, reflective of his personal experiences of living today. Michał Jan Kozłowski lives and works in London, United Kingdom. His works are collected by various private collectors in United Kingdom, United States of America, Poland, Denmark, Germany, France, Malta and Japan.
