Edward Szutter

Bolesławiec artistic community – Edward Szutter

"... I don't think I observe nature anymore - it flows through me like a pure stream of crisp air. It undoubtedly has a huge influence on what I do."
Edward Szutter
I strive for truth, reliability and consistency - a conversation with Edward Szutter, Lesław Kasprzycki, "Rocznik Bolesławiecki 2011"

This post from the series “Bolesławiec artistic community” was prepared within the framework of the project “Bolesławiec – 30 years of local government” carried out by the Museum of Ceramics and the Bolesławiec Cultural Centre – International Ceramics Centre.

Edward Szutter was born in 1957 in Bolesławiec. He is a well-known and respected painter and a member of the Association of Polish Artists. Over the years, he has dealt with diverse themes in his paintings; his fascination with landscapes and women’s figures, among other things, appears in them. For many years, the main theme of his work has been the “Beyond the everyday” series, in which he portrays compositions made up of old, discarded everyday objects. In these works, he seeks a painterly dialogue between structurally different real forms, contemplating silent matter that does not ask trivial questions but encourages reflection. The essence of the object is only a pretext for him. Monumental wall painting and the design of stained glass windows also occupy an important place in Edward Szutter’s work. His compositions decorate dozens of buildings, including sacred buildings. In 1999, he became famous for climbing Mount Snieżka in two-metre-high polystyrene shoes, which were an exact replica of his old hiking boots.

Edward Szutter has taken part in more than 80 national and international painting exhibitions, winning numerous prizes. His works are in demand among collectors all over the world.
