Łukasz Olek – large-scale abstraction & cool chroma

Łukasz Olek (b. 1982, Warsaw) began with monochrome drawing (ink, pencil) before embracing the chromatic range of acrylics. His practice balances colour, structure and scale.

Background

Worked as a graphic artist, illustrator, creative and art director for advertising agencies—experience that informs his compositional clarity and surface rhythm.

Style & influences

Primarily cool-toned, large-format abstractions, complemented by figurative, turpistic portraits. Olek probes materiality, testing uncommon media and techniques. Influences include Francis Bacon, Mark Rothko and Lucian Freud.

Direction

Abstraction, Minimalism, Contemporary art.
