(Artist Proof), right bottom signature: Jan Pamula. Graphic from the early period of the artist's use of computer methods in the construction of compositions. The work, like the entire oeuvre of J. Pamula, of high intellectual and visual/aesthetic value, is an investment work with a tendency to grow.
Jan Pamula (1944-2022) studied painting and printmaking at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow from 1961 to 1968. In 1967 he studied in Paris at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, and in the 1990s he worked at theNew York Institute of Technology as a Fulbright scholar. He received the title of professor of visual arts in 1992. He served as vice-rector (1996-2002) and two terms as rector (2002-2008) at his alma mater. In 2018 he became an active member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences. Jan Pamula's work belongs to geometric abstraction in the broadest sense. He was a pioneer in the use of computer technology in art, the artist's first computer drawings were created in the 1980s'. Computer-generated compositions were realized in the form of drawings, graphics and painting on canvas. He also created reliefs and painting-space constructions. In his works, in addition to rhythm and color, an important function of composition was performed by "collisions" of historical para-architectural forms (arches, pilasters, etc.) with sequences of colorful, rhythmic geometric shapes generated by computer algorithms programmed by the artist. The artist's works can be found in museum collections and private collections at home and abroad
