Welcome to the Modern Allegorical World of G. Tarnowski.

"Painting that simply reproduces likeness of a subject matter isn't enough -- I create paintings that express my emotional response to the beauty of subject." --Glen Tarnowski; Artist's Magazine, October 1999

My work is Whimsical, Inspiration/Spiritual & Paradoxical in nature and ultimately expresses itself with affirmation, lightheartness, hope, faith, trust and purpose, thus the use of what I call Modern Poetic Allegories.

Tarnowski’s art is in notable private and corporate art collectors and in galleries across US and Europe. Tarnowski paintings are in the permanent collections such as: National Gallery of Victoria, The National Gallery of Australia, the Brooklyn Museum of Art., the Boca Museum of Fine Art:Florida and the Aspen Art Museum in Colorado.

busy times
2009-11-20
I haven't written in months due to the busy schedule of shows in dallas, aspen, vail, santa fe, L.A. Laguna Beach, La Jolla, New York City and Denver. I hope to update images soon too with new works but you can go to masterpiecepublishing.com

What I want to write is a response to many who say Iam a Surrealist artist. Iam not! Surrealism is based on a "dreamlike state" and translating those images to canvas. They are based in many cases on NON-real or fantasiful mix of life and dreams. Modern Poetic Allegoies is based soley on the consious, tangible state of mind. My art deals with real and practical activities in life.

Also surrealism focuses on light side but also dark and sexualy explicit images. Completely opposite to surrealism, My Modern Poetic Allegories work focuses SOLEY on the Prositive, uplifting and encouraging themes through whimisial, paradoxical and inspirational work. Come and visit and learn more about the work.

Incredible realism yet total fantasy. I could stare at these all day long and still find more delights. I'm blown away. I have much work to do...
