Wilhelm Sasnal (born December 29, 1972 ) is a Polish painter. Sasnal received his diploma of painting in 1999 from the Academy of fine arts in Krakow.
Sasnal produces pencil drawings, ink drawings, photographs, videos and paintings. He is primarily a painter. He paints everyday objects, portraits of historical figures, views of his home town Cracow, snapshots of friends and family members, however images off the interent are his starting points. While painting is still at the centre of Sasnal’s work, he has also increasingly turned to photography and film in recent years.
This is one of Wilhelm’s pieces and he has created a landscape, with what looks like to be a child standing in front of an adult looking into the lake. Bearing in mind his work describes the complex experience of life today.
Comparing this piece to Peter Blake’s “Love me do” I found Wilhelm showed more of a life like image to me in my opinion whereas Peter describes today’s pop art, very entertaining colourful pieces, non realistic. Making him very 1950s retro.
Love me do 2004
Is a screen-print with diamond dust, it shows the retro style of Blake’s work which represent colour and more attraction than a message. This is what makes the piece very different from Wilhelm.
