Mariusz Lewandowski was a painter who was born in Dziadowo, Poland, and whose career had recently gotten more attention in the past five years. Whether they are aware of it or not, many death metal, doom, and thrash enthusiasts have probably seen his work over the years.
Lewandowski began his collaboration with Bell Witch in 2017 and painted the album cover for their song “Mirror Reaper.” Since then, the metal community has unquestionably embraced his distinctive and enduring surrealist aesthetic.
He painted album covers for various artists over the ensuing years, including Lorna Shore, Mizmor, Psycroptic, Abigail Williams, and Mizmor.
Biography
Lewandowski, who was born in Dziadowo, Poland, in 1960, specialised in oil paintings whose themes “often go well beyond the bounds of the human intellect,” according to his official biography. Each observer has the chance to interpret the symbols and thought-provoking aspects in the works in his or her own unique way because the artist, aside from providing a title, never interprets his paintings.
He died aged 62.
Famous Paitings
Loudwire readers probably knew him most for his work on the covers of numerous metal albums, despite the fact that he was undoubtedly well-known in his own right. He received a lot of attention and praise from the genre for his work on several LPs, including Bell Witch’s Mirror Reaper, Lorna Shore’s And I Return to Nothingness, Psycroptic’s As the Kingdom Drowns, and Abigail Williams’ Walk Beyond the Dark.
In reality, he had produced over 30 works of art before his death, and in 2021 he even worked with renowned skateboarder Jamie Thomas on his Zero Skateboards line.
Quite charmingly, hundreds of admirers have expressed their sympathy and gratitude on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms.
RIP Mariusz Lewandowski, one of the most talented contemporary surrealist painters and one of my favorite artists of all time – also I have no idea what metal bands are gonna do now, I'm pretty sure he made like 50% of all album covers, probably 90% for doom or sludge bands pic.twitter.com/zQshLNbeaX
