Zbigniew Gorlak

In 1979 Zbigniew Gorlak graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk with a diploma in painting, where he attended the course in the studio of prof. Władysław Jackiewicz. Currently he works at the Academy as the professor in the lithography. He used to be vice dean. He is a member of the Gallery Nowa Oficyna and of the Board GTPS in Gdańsk. Zbigniew Gorlak is also an award wining author - from the first prize in the exhibition of the young in Gdynia 1980 to the first prize for the best IMAGE OF THE YEAR in A&B in 2003 in Warsaw. His biggest accomplishment is the fact, that two of his works were purchased to the main hall of the headquarters of the LEGO Company in Billung, Denmark. Credo: I am an artist who searches for his identity in various worskshop media. Currently I am devoted to painting and lithography. My activities are expanded by organizing exhibitions. The prevailing clue-image is a unique alimentary canal. Everything is a commodity to be swallowed. The nutritious chain is crowned by the wonderful Lego block.
