Mariusz Drabarek is East London rising contemporary artist, born in Poland in 1979, collegian of

Paweł Wolański, member of BowArt, whose artistic style is a compilation of several art streams

with strong influence of New Wild (Die Neue Wilde), Neo-expressionism, Figurative painting and

some influence of Primitivism.

Mariusz exhibited in 2007 in POSK, Hammersmith 238-246 King St. and in 2010 in Thames

Tunnel Mills, Rotherhite St., 'Art at the Mills'. He was awarded in 2012 in National Open Art

Competition with “The Pope – Ruling elite” painting.

His art burns with strong, aggressive colours, clearly distincted perspectives and sharp contrasts,

which makes them pronounced expression of anger and mutiny somehow, as well as other

emotions. He links different orders, mix reality with spirituality, blends sacral art elements with

antique Far East and South East philosophy with a pure street art, pop culture and conspiracy

theories addition on the top of it. Everything he paints is made under high leverage of metaphysics.

His non-conformism is manifested by studying with a few chosen painters ,while rejecting regular

art college education. His vision is poetic, imagery-contemporary, informed and painterly with

good sense of colour. There is something down to earth in his philosophy of being the artist ,like: it

is what I do. The man who early in life has found out what really matters.

Mariusz deconstructs mass media created reality with their passing sensations, hierarchy of values

and authorities. He cuts it in to pieces, mix and sauce with his own proportions. This is a scene of

street art filtered and processed by the Internet culture.
