For many years he has been referring to the tradition of geometric abstraction and constrctivist art. However, he does go beyond their asceticism by introducing new media and materials, breaking traditional genre boundaries. He puts popular and well-known themes into spatial, three-dimensional (Installations), quasi-usable forms (ChairThrones), moving pictures (Films). He has been living and creating for over forty years in New York as well as his hometown of Lublin.
Tadeusz Myslowski studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. Soon after his graduation in 1968, Myslowski left for Paris where two years later he was noticed thanks to his individual exhibition at the Gallery lambert. In 1979 he emigrated to the United States, and this became a turning point in his artistic career. He received a studio from New York experimental Institute for Art and Urban Resources (now PS1 MoMa). He began to draw with minimalism and chromatic abstraction. Under the influence of Harry Holtzman, who brought {iet Mondrian to America, he experienced a great fascination with the Dutchman’s abstract art. He was inspired by the urban structure of New York and for a few years he was busy creating the series entitled Avenue of Americas (1974-1979) and for twenty-two years the series Towards Organic Geometry (1972-1994) which was published in the form of a graphic portfolio by Irena Hochman Fine Art Ltd.
He returned to those inspirations in Manhattan Grid (1995) and his latest projects of Manhattan Chairs. Having been inspired by the revival of constructivist themes in new forms – both spatial and three-dimensional – since 1995 he has been creating a series of quasi-utility ChairThrones as a tribute to the visionaries of the 20th century: Mondrian, Malewicz, Stazewski, Szpakowski, Strzeminski and Kobro.
