Andrzej Pągowski (born 1953 in Warsaw) is a Polish artist.
Graduated from State University of Fine Arts in Poznan, 1978. Began to design posters in 1977 which has become his main interest. In addition to posters, he designs theatrical settings, prints & catalogues.
One of the younger of the Third Generation of artists of Polish School of Posters, he easily made the transition from socialism to capitalism - in 1990, he created his own graphic studio, STUDIO P, which developed into an advertising agency in 1993 that continues in operation today. In 1992, he had become art director of the Polish edition of Playboy. As an artist, his individualized posters evoke a range of moods and ideas. He claims to have created a separate concept for each of his many posters, saying: “Every poster for me is an individual exercise different from the previous one.” His art can be found in many European museums plus the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
