IGOR MORITZ

b. 1996, Lublin, Poland

​

Igor Moritz, that all in his style flirts with mimesis while breaking all rules of perspective, proportion and realism. Those in his most intimate circles are the ones he portrays. With oil paint or colored pencil Igor creates vivid, almost Fauvist backdrops and characters who stare forlorn at the viewer. An electric color palette saturates his visceral depictions of loneliness and interpersonal turmoil. He morphs and composes the perspective, space and figures in a way that immediately makes one think of Schiele or Matisse, but Moritz captures with a fresh mixture of expressive lines a fleeting moment of human existence and highly emotionally charged works.
