Level of connection
Searching in depth
With the hands of the mind
Dissecting
Yourself
It's not easy
Needed
To move on
To create your own
What it wouldn't be
It's your own
Opens the door
And now yours
Enormous possibilities
Little in memory
Element in the pictures
Harmony of feelings
Strength
Because sometimes at the bottom
I want constantly on top


Artist Description:

Painthead (Adrian Łabanowski), born in 1985, is the pseudonym of a Polish independent artist, performer, musician, painter, songwriter and musician, leader of the music group NO LOGO. He comes from the picturesque border town of Sejny, located in the northeastern corner of Poland, surrounded by forests and lakes, wrapped by the beautiful Marycha River, on which the artist grew up. The works of art coming out from under his brush are characterized by luscious colors, original depictions of female nature, and often references to 20th and 21st century pop culture. He has a great pleasure in painting and an ease of communication with the viewer. His creative and easily recognizable style combines elements of neo-expressionism, pop art, young wild or brut art. His paintings are accompanied by specially composed and written musical pieces, to which the artist invites prominent Polish vocalists, including Mika Urbaniak, Maria Sadowska, Ramona Rey and Anna Patrini. The artist's paintings are in the collections of people of culture and art, including Doda, Michal Szpak, Liroy and Rafał Zawierucha.
