M Jo Klinger

M Jo Klinger completed her studies in painting, applied sculpture and graphic arts at the Academy of Art and Design in Wroclaw.
During her studies between 1980 and 1985, three teachers significantly influenced her artistic development:
Prof. Zbigniew Karpinski, a post-impressionist colourist; Prof. Jan Jaromir Aleksiun, the co-founder of the so-called Wroclaw Poster School; and Prof. Leszek Kacma who was influenced by the art movements of Unism and Constructivism and the founder of the "Visual Knowledge" course at the Academy of Art and Design.
In 1985, the artist graduated with a Master's degree in the field of "Free Graphics – Advertising Graphics".

However, this caesura had a very positive effect on her artistic development. She succeeded in developing her own artistic language beyond the academic canon. The Americans Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Jones inspired her works.
The works shown in the exhibition were created between 2009 and 2016 and document her artistic development.
