Let me know (by leaving a comment) if you want to see more close-ups of his other paintings. I've got a few more. You won't find this level of details on a reproduction of any kind.

It'd be nice to see close-ups of his later works, when he was working in more implied figures and higher abstraction.
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving first comment on this blog. I think I have one close-up to one of his later works. I'll post it this week probably.
ReplyDeleteHowdy Bex, just came across your blog - great work. will certainly visit more often in the future. Went to Beksinki's museum the other day and got totally hooked.

Hey Love what you are doing Please post more close up shots and, and good shots of his works, since you have access to his works, can you find someone who can describe the technique and material he used in his works, I know it's mostly oil on board what I am interested in knowing is that how he created the boards and what type of varnish and mediums he used.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hello anonymous. I can post few more close-ups next month. I'll certainly write an article about his technique someday. I'm very busy lately and hope I'll find some time to do this in June or July.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reply and all the hard work.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a big YES on posting more close-ups. So much to learn from. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Anonymous above. I'd love to know more about Beksinski's techniques. Especially where his use of unearthly light is at work. I suspect a lot of glazing. I love the detail images you're posting too, I'd love to see more. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteDo you know if he did underpaintings?
ReplyDeleteDoes underpainting mean first layer of painting or priming?
ReplyDeleteI know that in the 80s he started painting with acrylics (first layer) but was always finishing his paintings in oils.
Thanks from London!
ReplyDeleteBy underpainting I mean the first painting layer in monochromatic colors to get the values right. Acrylics are often used for underpaintings so your answer tells me that he did use some form of underpainting. I wonder if he would also draw in pencil first on the canvas. I have seen his drawings and they look similar to his paintings with the amount of detail in them. Do you know of any video or picture sequences showing him work from beginning to end?
ReplyDeleteThanks.

Beksinski never painted on canvas. He was moving a sketch from a paper to fibreboard outlining the composition with charcoal.
ReplyDeleteMovies presenting his process of painting:

Beksinski talks in Polish. No translations are available.
More videos are here (interviews etc, all in Polish):

ReplyDeleteDo you know if he achieved some of the earth colors by impregnation techniques?
ReplyDeleteYou mean colors lying on the bottom layers that we can see on close-ups? How do you understand impregnation technique?
