Wincenty Dunikowski-
Duniko Artistic Approach
for a Recognized Artist

The artistic achievements of Wincenty Dunikowski-Duniko, consisting of a rich body of work, exhibitions around the world, articles, and awards, require an adequate presentation.

There were two main areas of focus for the project. On the one hand — the technological side — an advanced information architecture and management system were crucial to cope with huge amounts of data and media assets. What may come a bit of a surprise is the fact, that despite being very content-rich, the project is fully realized in the spirit of Jamstack. A set of technologies which allow building extremely fast sites at the same time being very conservative on the required resources.

On the other hand, the creative opportunity that arises when dealing with a rich body of work of an avant-garde artist is exceptionally high. While we always aim for the unconventional in our work, for a project like this, breaking the norm becomes a default core requirement.

As we believe that true design is so much more than just craft, we opted for an intellectual extension of the artist’s work expressed in an invented design language which sets up a dialog with the artist’s explorative character.

Many of Duniko’s works contain references to the history of art. A derivative process he often refers to as the self-mythologization of art, which, determined by art reacting upon art, makes the intellectual play and expressiveness self-contained.

In this context, our design work should be understood as a further extension to this very process. We speak our own invented design language, but we make subtle references to Duniko’s groundbreaking art or even more broadly to the history of art and design in general, especially that rooted in the Avant-Garde and Neo-Avant-Garde movements.
