Maurycy Gomulicki

Born 1969. Lives and works in Warsaw and Mexico City. Artist, designer, photographer, collector, anthropologist of popular culture. Hedonist deeply devoted and consequently promoting the Culture of Pleasure. Studied Fine Arts in Warsaw, Barcelona, Milan and Mexico. Consultant and co-author of the project ABCDF – a visual dictionary of Mexico City (2000-2002). He introduced himself to a broader public through his subversive, multidisciplinary project Pink Not Dead! (2006). Author of three photo albums: Fúnebre (with Jeronimo Hagerman, Editorial Diamantina, 2006), W-wa (Bęc Zmiana Foundation, 2007) and Minimal Fetish (LeTo Gallery, 2010). Many of his pieces enter a dialogue with eroticism and pornography – i.e. Fertility Pop (2008), a monumental mural in the Zachęta National Art Gallery, or a series of collages entitled Pussy Mandala (2008-9). Intensive colour, explored in its vital potential as well as its socio-cultural aspect, is an important component of his works. During recent years he often makes interventions in public space – The Pearl (Wigry, 2009), Lightspurt (Warsaw, 2009), Color Cube (Wrocław, 2010), or Totem (Open’er, Gdynia, 2012). The most important of his 2013's projects include Beast (Cracow), Melancholy (Tarnów) and Queen (Warsaw). Gomulicki permanently collaborates with Warsaw's LETO Gallery.
