Known for his meticulous, hard-edged abstraction and precision of execution, Andrzej Urbanski uses acrylic and spray paint to produce pristine, flat colour and to hide any trace of the ‘artist’s hand’.
The bold shards of colour characterising Urbanski’s art may recall objects, places, experiences from his youth, the colour of a building or a room, or they may encompass his state of mind as he steps into his studio. As such, his intricate compositions are described as ‘high’ or ‘low frequency’, referring to either a complex matrix of influences shaping intricate compositions, or quieter, ‘less busy’ forms, often united by a subdued colour palette.
Urbanski has an abiding fascination with digitally produced art, the relationship between lived experience and virtual reality and the status assigned to handmade products in the post-industrial era. His work is also informed by an appreciation for the minimalist movement, although he is inspired by a range of high modernists, from Rothko to Mondrian.

‘I believe I can be better than the machine.’ The street runs deeply in his Andrzej Urbanski blood. The artist left his days of full-time train ‘bombing’ back in Berlin where he started writing in his teens and now creates large, shimmering, optically bending artworks composed from the architectural squares, triangles and hexagons of today’s contemporary built environment.
