About the Artist
Wilhelm Sasnal is a critically acclaimed Polish painter whose prolific output is characterized by its engagement with a vast array of found imagery—from newspapers, family photographs, and film stills. His paintings are often executed with remarkable speed, capturing the immediacy and fleeting nature of visual information in the digital age. Sasnal's subjects are highly diverse, encompassing historical atrocities, personal memories, landscapes, and portraits, all rendered with a distinctive, often pared-down or ambiguous style. His work questions the reliability of images and memory, inviting viewers to contemplate the fragmented and mediated nature of contemporary experience.
