{"title":"Jerzy Marek","description":"\u003cp\u003eJerzy Marek (1925-2014) was a self-taught Polish artist who lived in England and Scotland. He primarily painted oil on board or canvas, beginning in 1970 after working as a civil engineer. After early retirement in 1981, he dedicated himself to painting and encouraged self-taught artists in northwest England. Marek's style evolved from sporting and pastoral scenes to close-ups of animals and people, with a characteristic velvety technique. His work often depicted \"weird and enigmatic expressions\" on animal faces. Marek's art has a unique and captivating effect on any setting, adding depth and intrigue to any space.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1568\/8443\/collections\/jerzy-marek-art.jpg?v=1722935705","url":"https:\/\/www.elephantstock.com\/collections\/jerzy-marek-art.oembed","provider":"Elephant Stock","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
