Zdzis\u0142aw Beksi\u0144ski<\/b> was a Polish painter, photographer and sculptor, specializing in the field of dystopian surrealism. Beksi\u0144ski did his paintings and drawings in what he called either a ‘Baroque’ or a ‘Gothic’ manner. His creations were made mainly in two periods. The first period of work is generally considered to contain expressionistic color, with a strong style of “utopian realism” and surreal architecture, like a doomsday scenario. The second period contained more abstract style, with the main features of formalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
