Andre Krayewski was born before WWII in Poznan,
Poland. As a young adult, he was attracted to the post war
damages in Wroclaw, a city in Poland that saw the worst of the
war. After spending much of his teenage years in Wroclaw, he
moved to Warsaw in 1958, where he graduated from a fine art
academy, obtaining a masters degree in 1963. At this point he has
seen much athletic and artistic success. He was a freelance artist
of illustrations, comics, book and magazine covers, cartoons,
animated film and graphic design. He later became the art director
for several magazines, including a Jazz magazine, “Food from
Poland,” and “Die Frau” of Vienna, Austria. He specialized in
designing artistic cultural, theatre and film posters, where he first
discovered and developed his taste for pop art. He participated in
the Biennial of posters in Warsaw, and the Biennial of illustrations in
Poland. As a young adult, he was attracted to the post war

Osaka. His posters were displayed in various exhibitions in London, Stockholm, Paris, Helsinki and Tokyo. He received dozens of prizes in both
Polish and international competitions for posters. In the 1970s, Krayewski had close ties with West Germany, where he had an agreement as an
artist for film distributors of Germany, Italy, Poland and Austria. It is at this time when he made a life decision to start perfecting his fine art
signature style, which he began as he studied under W. Fangor, who is the only Polish artist to have an exhibition in the Guggenheim museum.
Krayewski first exhibited his signature style of painting in 1979 in the Grazyna Hase gallery of Warsaw. Afterwards he held many other
exhibitions in Munich, Copenhagen, and London. His signature style closely represents his art deco influences. In 1985, Krayewski moved to the
U.S. and continued his painting. His favorite subjects are motion picture, and Jazz. He was the official artist of the 1997 Panasonic Jazz Festival
in New York. His Painting, “Boogie Woogie,” became the highlight of the Festival’s marketing campaign as it was displayed across New York City
in many forms ranging from subway advertisements to soundtrack album cover art. Furthermore, Krayewski’s painting, “Hollywood Hollywood,”
can also be seen across New York City as, for the past ten years, it has been featured in numerous New York Film Academy advertisements
ranging from magazine ads to billboards. Recently Krayewski has re-entered the polish poster scene, after a two-decade long hiatus, as he
has designed new posters for a prominent theatre in Warsaw. His recent work has been displayed at numerous galleries in the tri-state area,
Warsaw and the Bahamas, and is sought for by collectors worldwide.
