Summary/Abstract: Although he is a Wroc³aw artist, Wojciech Lupa is little known in his home town. He mostly exhibits in Paris and other places in France. He had a show in Szczecin, and in Germany. He is a professor at the Art Academy in Wroc³aw. He works systematically, with consequence. It is difficult to say which style he prefers, because he never followed artistic ideas, which dominated in art the 1980’s and the 1990’s. He is connected with the Wroclaw artistic tradition, which concentrated on colorism. Also, he is interested in constructivism and other trends connected with that style. Abstract constructions by Lupa are based on such geometric forms as squares, ovals and rectangles. He uses such colors as delicate gray, brown, white and black colors. He likes to use intricate texture. His puristic technique is connected with meditative attitude towards the reality. His pictures are lyrical interpretation of decorative motifs. He contemplates different forms which he finds in clouds. He believes that quotations from ‘The Clouds’ by Aristophanes could be used to explain his art.
