Marcin Maciejowski

(born in 1974 in Balice) began his artistic career similarly to Paweł Kowalewski – as part of a loose collective of five fellow painters. However, he started in the late 1990s in Krakow, and the collective was called Grupa Ładnie. In contrast to his older colleagues from the Gruppa, emotionally involved in painful national-religious issues, Maciejowski painted not ‘devilishly’ and ‘wildly,’ but simply nicely, in the style of Eastern European Post-Pop or Banalism.
