Beksiński at work, 1990

I wonder if we'll ever see a complete archive of his works. It seems like he produced a painting a week and there are still paintings I've never seen before and they're not cataloged.

[@The_Qube]

I highly recommend visiting his gallery at Sanok Castle if you're able to, apart from the well known works it also has a lot of the more obscure paintings and sketches.

[@YouGuessIGuess]

@@The_Qube Thanks for the tip--it would be a dream to see more of his paintings and especially in person.

[@Hejirah]

@@The_Qube I may wanna try and visit! Since I live near, in Slovakia....

[@Zavvorov]

Hm, in other interview he said that he paint very slowly, so I doubt there was new painting per week.

[@junkgrave]

@@Zavvorov He averaged about 40 paintings per year for decades. Some years more, some less, but about a painting per week is about right.

[@awakenazathoth5164]

He probably liked to have ambient music on while he painted. This is inside his house he usd this room as his office.

[@beef5010]

I would love to look at all the cds he has. Imagine a playlist of songs that Beksinski *actually* painted to 😯

[@ElazarY]

You can see it via the Sanok museum! He listened mostly to opera, rock, and a bit of i’between

[@Lena-yj4il]

Dziękujemy za udostępnienie.

[@screamingscarlette]

What I would give to see in detail how he made his bones

[@andyteszner]

He used to compare his style to "adjusting focus of a camera". A big colour spot, then adding sharp detail with delicate small brush strokes... Thanks for watching Scarlette. :)

[@te9591]

I swear when I look at beksinski bone hand/knuckle textures it reminds me a lot of a tarsiers clenched hand.

[@el_teodoro]

@@andyteszner wow, perfect analogy

[@honicthesedgehog6207]

@Chris McRoy lmao. keep it in ur pants bruh

[@DRAWKCABLLA]

It is very cool to see his approach to painting. Him taking the time between strokes to step back and view his work played a role in the superiority of his paintings. I wish I had the patience and strength to work standing like him.

[@PaulMcCannWebBuilder]

I was about to write the same comment. Glad others notice that workspace. I want to see a video of him setting things up. That lighting! Watching other videos of him working, he never once stumbles looking for something. He knows exactly which tube to grab among that divided drawer of paints.

[@onlyoneofhiskind]

@@PaulMcCannWebBuilder It was normal thing to have room organized this way in Poland in the 90s (This was most likely filmed inside his flat apartment not a studio) People were proud of their stereo hi-fi and music collection. Those organized shelves and cabinets behind him is called "meblościanka" which was along with "wersalka" the most common furniture. Generally most of the population was resourceful and well organized.I like the office desk lamps used as lighting around the painting area. Wonder if it helped with paint drying process.

[@cdcopley3404]

[@inominado1975]

Has anyone in the history of mankind come close to the Beksinsk to this day? I can not believe this video was posted. Beksinsk is a demigod

[@oenomausHD]

I believe Beksinski was directly inspired by the great Polish painter Jacek Malczewski 1854-1929 where one can see multi figures blending together moving though a room similar to some of Bek's compositions. As far as artists of equal caliber just look to his contemporaries like H. Giger, Robert Venosa, Ernst Fuchs, De Es Schwertberger and even Dariusz Zawadzki who does Beksinski's style even better than Beksinski!

[@xcanini]

i understand why you would compare Dariusz Zawadzki to Beksinski, but beside drawing/painting techniques they are a lot different. While Zawadzki portrais more of a fantasy and mechanical world, Beksinski is more subconscious and emotion. Saying that Zawadzki does it better is ignorant.

[@oenomausHD]

I was somewhat exaggerating when saying he does it better, merely responding to the notion from the first comment "has anyone come close" but still stand by the fact that Zawadski is technically beyond Beksinski in detail and realism (thus the doing it better statement) which can be used to differentiate between the two.

[@adishankaracharya4988]

I have found two, maybe. They reminded me of Beksinski, Dariusz Zawadzki (Polish) and Xueguo Yang (Chinese). Check them out.

[@inominado1975]

Oenomaus i believe he's is inspired by hyeronimus bosch

[@KeeperOfProphecies]

There are still MANY of his works that have yet to be catalogued online. The piece shown at 3:16: I've never seen that one before -- and I've scoured the internet for as many pictures of his work as possible. Who knows if anyone will establish a thorough documentation of his work that can be seen.

[@Kydino]

Are his pieces available in local Polish museums/galleries or did he keep them to himself?

[@KeeperOfProphecies]

I'm sure there are Polish galleries that have some of his work in-house, but it's still a monumental task to categorize them all and to put them online. Even Dmochowski's gallery is limited in that regard.

[@Thecaligariproject]

I saw this paint just yesterday in Warsaw in a gallery. It's amazing. I think that this masterpiece has no title, like most of his productions. Sorry for my bad English.

[@luman1109]

also he destroyed many works he deemed to personal for anyone else too see

[@amjan]

There is a video interview on youtube where he talks about how much he enjoys making paintings just for his own pleasure with no desire of showing them to people.

It was extremely functional, which reflects his personality acurately. Also, it was in communist Poland, where buying anything was a challenge (stuff just wasn't in the stores, you had to have connections to get it), so completing such studio was actually a major accomplishment in itself.

2 questions. Why does he use the camcorder? And what is the significance of the number '2' on many of his paintings?

[@mintcoffeeart825]

Hello a fellow working artist here, I can only unfortunately answer the first question but most artist tend to document their work progress and sometimes using a camera can help see a slightly different perspective of your work, a camera tends to change the look of pieces and colors. I do it quite often and helps me to refer back to something if needed, and sometimes documentation is required for some art places. Hope this helped :)
