Maurycy Gomulicki (b. 1969) is an artist, designer, photographer, collector, and anthropologist of popular culture. He graduated from the Faculty of Graphic Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and continued his studies at the Universitat de Barcelona, the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, and the Centro Multimedia at the Centro Nacional de las Artes in Mexico. His multidisciplinary practice spans photography, sculpture, and neon art, while also encompassing graphic and product design. He has completed numerous public art commissions. Describing himself as a critical hedonist, Gomulicki consistently advocates what he calls the Culture of Pleasure. Many of his projects engage in a dialogue with eroticism as well as the traditions of modernism and geometric abstraction. He treats the boundaries between popular culture and fine art as fluid, while vibrant color – explored both for its life-affirming qualities and its socio-cultural meanings – remains a defining element of his work. After spending nearly twenty-five years in Mexico, he now lives and works in Warsaw.

His work has been exhibited at leading Polish art institutions, including the Zachęta – National Gallery of Art, Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, National Museum in Warsaw, MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Kraków, POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Bunkier Sztuki, Arsenał Gallery, Labirynt Gallery, State Gallery of Art. in Sopot, and BWA Wrocław. He has also completed numerous public art commissions. His sculptures, neon installations, and other large-scale works have been presented in Busko-Zdrój, Elbląg, Gdynia, Katowice, Kraków, Lublin, Poznań, Sopot, Szczecin, Tarnów, and Warsaw, as well as internationally in Brussels, San Diego, and Mexico City.
