signed, dated and described on the back: "NAUTILIUS" 2019 / B. JARMOLINSKI.
Graduate of the Wladyslaw Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz (he received his diploma in 2001 in the Drawing Studio under Prof. Roma Halat at the Department of Visual Education). He is one of the most intensely developing contemporary artists in Lodz, actively participating in Polish cultural life through participation in reviews of contemporary art (Bielska Jesień, Piotrkowskie Biennale of Art, Triennale of Contemporary Polish Painting in Rzeszów. He has participated in many group exhibitions in Poland and abroad, among the most notable were the projects of Gallery Zero in Berlin, House and Tower of Krakow in Nuremberg, Kolner Haus in Cologne, The Bike Shed/ in Inverness, Het Strijkijzer in The Hague, Inchmore Gallery in Inchmore). Starting from the conventions of pop art, poster art and hyperrealism, Bartek Jarmolinski has developed his own language of painterly expression, through which he comments on - and creates - the reality around him. In his works: canvases, photographs, objects and videos, he takes up the problems affecting the 21st century European, functioning in the world of consumption, the dictates of mass-media, the aestheticization of the street, the manipulation of the human image, the imbalance between the spheres of sacrum and profanum. Bartek with distance and self-irony shows himself - a contemporary artist and heroes of modernity, entangled in strange relationships and situations, created for the needs of pop culture.
