Marek Herburt
Marek Herburt
Marek Herburt was born in 1954 in Lodz, Poland. When Marek was 15, he attended secondary Art School where he had a fascination with Polish and French Impressionists. His desire for further education in the arts led him to the Academy of Art in Lodz in 1975. At this time, Marek was totally fascinated with light and its influence over colour and form. Through experimentation with watercolour, Marek was primarily interested in colourful abstracted landscapes. Over the years this work has remained his central artistic pursuit. In 1995 Marek completed a large body of representational religious narrative images using local people as models. Abstraction however was still strong and continues to be a recurring impetus in his creative life. Permeating his artistic pursuit is the ongoing fascination with light and the effect it has on colour and form, where the interactions in the spaces between forms are as important as the forms themselves.
