Jan Dobkowski
b. 1942He was born on 8 June 1942 in Łomża. From 1962 to 1968 he studied in the Faculty of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, taking his diploma in the studio of Professor Jan Cybis.
With Jerzy Zieliński he founded the group NEO-NEO-NEO, with which he exhibited until 1970. After 1968 he developed a recognisable language: red silhouettes of figures on an intensely green ground.
