Edward Dutkiewicz

Edward Dutkiewicz (1 April 1961 – 9 December 2007) was a British visual artist known for his use of bright colours and abstract forms, reminiscent of Alexander Calder and Henri Matisse.

[1] A self-taught artist, between 1986 and 1994, Dutkiewicz produced wall paintings and murals for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

[1] He held two solo shows at Flowers East gallery in Hackney and later exhibited in Paris, Cologne, Stockholm, and San Francisco.

[1] Dutkiewicz received a number of commissions for his work, including from the architect Piers Gough, who placed one of his polished steel sculptures at Camden Lock, and from the Estorick Collection in Islington for a female portrait to be placed in their garden.

[1] In an obituary of Dutkiewicz, collector Michael Estorick noted, "If there are echoes of Alexander Calder and Matisse in his use of bright colour and abstract form, it is also of their playfulness and joy.
