Jerzy Tchórzewski fought in the Home Army during the war. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow from 1946 to 1951, and during his studies became associated with the circle of the Cracow Group. He made his debut at the First Exhibition of Modern Art in Cracow in 1948, and in 1955 participated in an exhibition at the Warsaw Arsenal, where he won an award. By that time he was already living in Warsaw, where in 1954 he began teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts (he retired in 1998). From his early figurative period (1948-1955), when he placed figures and fantastic creatures in imaginary landscapes, he was already characterized by interests and a type of imagination close to surrealism. In the second half of the 1950s, he began to paint abstract images evocative of cosmic cataclysms and eruptions of matter, illuminated by jagged lines of lightning that contrast with the dark background. Sometimes human and animal shapes appeared in his compositions. The convergence of Tchórzewski's surreal visions with the parallel tendencies of informel painting led him to associate himself with the international art movement Phases in 1959. In later years, the artist complicated the texture of his paintings, using, among other things, the drying properties of a thick layer of paint and, in the case of gouaches, the effects of crumpled paper. From the late 1970s onward, he eagerly took up religious subjects. The apogee of this trend came in the 1980s, when the artist became associated with the independent art movement, often exhibiting in churches and at private shows. In 1986 he received the independent Jan Cybis Award.
