Self Portrait

Home

Welcome to the Sulek Art web-site. This site is dedicated to the life and work of Antoni Sulek who lived and worked from a studio in his parents house in Morpeth for the majority of his life. Antos (as he was known to his family and close friends) was born in 1951 and died in January 1988, a month before his 37th birthday.

During the artist’s short life he painted hundreds of amazing works of art, using whatever medium was available to him. Like so many artists who are now household names Antoni painted with a passion and did not profit from his work financially. In his own words he said “Art is a duty to me: I create mirrors for people to see their souls”.

His paintings are an expression of his life, his emotions, his culture and his past but also of the dark side of humanity and suffering. Again in common with the best artists, Antoni Sulek’s work was not given the true recognition it deserved in his lifetime, but has become more popular since his untimely death.

Antoni Sulek - the biography is now available

A number of people in the past have tried and failed to understand the artist and to document his complex life. After four years of research the creators of this web-site, Ingrid and Jon Taylor, have now completed his life story and Antoni Sulek’s biography ‘POLES APART: THE LIFE AND WORKS OF THE ARTIST ANTONI SULEK’ is now available and can be purchased from good book stores,directly from the publishers Austin & Macauley, or from Amazon—you can use this link

The purpose of this web-site and the book is to celebrate the fact that Antoni Sulek is an extremely exceptional artist and to share aspects of his life and work with those of you who are already keen collectors and, hopefully, to introduce others, world wide, to his talent.

It will also enable those of you who are interested in his work to contact us if you have questions about any aspect of his life and his art. We hope you will enjoy visiting this site and reading his life story.
