Thomas Pradzynski November 29, 1951 - December 21, 2007 Lodz, PolandArtist's BiographyAt the age of 26 Thomas Pradzynski left his native Poland for Paris with the aspiration of becoming an artist. The year was 1977. Knowledge of architecture and a love of art were his main interests. His ideal was to "romanticize the empty streets and the traces of the past and to preserve places that are slowly disappearing." The path he laid before him was paved with warmly lit Parisian streets, dark windows and open doorways. The art he was about to create would not only echo his surroundings but also communicate his passion for their preservation.The artist was born in Lodz, Poland, on November 29, 1951. His childhood was greatly influenced by his aunt Joanna, an artist in Krakow. Joanna recognized his talent and soon became his tutor. When he was nine, his family moved to the Montmartre district of Paris, where the city galvanized his creative spirit. The excitement of the modern city was like no other he had experienced. He was enamored by the freedom expressed by its inhabitants, most importantly, by the street painters with their brightly colored canvases. Upon returning to Poland in 1965, he resumed his artistic studies in painting and drawing. Bowing to family demands that he pursues a more practical course in life, Thomas eventually took degrees in Sociology and Economics. In 1977 he exiled to Paris with his wife. Paris continues to inspire Pradzynski through its urban charm. The labyrinthine streets of Montmartre and the Latin Quarter have become his outdoor studios.Pradzynski's work explores and the streets of Paris like a solitary lover whom every window, doorway and cafe is filled with meaning. Much of Pradzynski's mood is created upon the stage of old Parisian buildings and storefronts. The actors become a window, two chairs, or a doorway whose interplay with light and shadow perform for the audience of our memories and dreams.Throughout the 19th century and for half of the twentieth, Paris served as a beacon for artistic expression, drawing artists from all over Europe and the United States. Writers, painters, musicians and poets have all been inexorably drawn to this creative mecca. To name a few: Delacroix, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Van Gogh, Edward Hopper, Camus, Sartre and Hemingway. Within the confines of smoky cafes, Pradzynski found the creative atmosphere conductive to his own inspirations. Much like his contemporaries, Pradzynski's inspirations turned into though provoking creations.The street scenes portrayed in Pradzynski's paintings appear to be within the category of "realism." The term "realism," however, is as varied as the individual. The Realist artists discover that their external reality is inescapable from their own subjectivity. The depiction of a scene is primarily interpreted by the artist and secondarily interpreted by the viewer. Through this dual interpretation the artist is able to achieve a shared experience from an otherwise personal environment. As a realist, Pradzynski focuses his composition on the amount of content he can add to the subject matte... read more
