About the Artist:
Tadeusz Lapinski's journey as an artist began at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where he studied under renowned artists such as Eugeniusz Arct and Henryk Tomaszewski. His career took a significant turn when he received a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and Art of the Polish People's Republic, allowing him to move to Paris in 1964. There, he connected with artistic luminaries, including Jacques Prévert and Pablo Picasso, and gained considerable recognition for his innovative style.

In 1968, Lapinski moved to the United States, where he continued to develop his artistic practice, creating new series such as "Black Holes" and "Solitude." His work has been featured in over 70 exhibitions worldwide, including a notable retrospective at the Otis Art Institute of Los Angeles County in 1973 and a retrospective at Sotheby's in Amsterdam in 2007, making him the first Polish-American artist to be honored in such a manner.

"Ground Roots" exemplifies Lapinski's mastery in lithography, with its vibrant color palette and abstract representation of natural elements. The piece's composition invites viewers to delve into the depths of the earth, exploring the unseen connections between roots and the surface world. This lithograph, being one of only 20 produced, offers a rare glimpse into Lapinski's unique vision and artistic legacy​
