About Narrative

Have you seen this band? Of course not. Polish artist Jakub Julian Ziolkowski made it up to satisfy an insatiable craving for storytelling. 

His work is a product of his imagination and presented in non-linear and disjointed narratives, grotesque figures fraught with death and decay, otherworldly forms, and obsessively created and rehashed imagery.

"I really like to create artificial, imaginary names and situations," says Ziolkowski. "I just invent them, which I think is more real. If something is completely imaginary, like a portrait without a name, it's surreal, but if you've got the names, you think, "Who is this Timothy Galoty?  What's going on here?'"
