Considering Art Podcast – Antoni Malinowski, abstract painter

Antoni Malinowski has established an international reputation for his works that comprise colour, movement and light and are often applied directly on to architectural spaces. Here he talks about his difficult upbringing in Poland before moving to London to further his art studies, how discovering frescoes in Venice was a revelation, how he adapted his work to large architectural buildings such as The Royal Court Theatre in London, the Everyman Theatre in Liverpool and the Dulwich Picture Gallery, and how he began using light-sensitive interference pigments for their optical effect.
