Jerzy Pogorzelski studied at the School of Fine Arts in Minsk from 1947 to 1953, under the direction of Professor Sukhovarchev. In 1958 he came to Poland and settled permanently in Blachownia near Częstochowa. He was a member of the Association of Polish Artists, taking part in numerous exhibitions at home and abroad, including in Germany and the United States (Los Angeles, San Diego). He painted mainly landscapes, flowers and still lifes, and less frequently portraits and genre scenes. His paintings are distinguished by their unique color values and peculiar expressiveness, with discernible influences from Russian Impressionism. "He was a realist, but he didn't describe anything. There is no room for minutiae in his paintings, he conveyed impressions, his individual experience of beauty" (A. Jaskiewicz, album, see below). In 1999, on the 50th anniversary of his work, he had a solo exhibition at the Municipal Art Gallery in Częstochowa. A large exhibition of the artist's paintings opened there recently - in January 2007. It was accompanied by the album "Memory and Image. Jerzy Pogorzelski - painting and drawing" published in Czestochowa in 2006.
