How It Works, What It Does
Art and Documentation No 22/2020
Krzysztof Siatka“Duniko’s experimenting with the mechanisms that set a work of art in motion dates back to the beginnings of his career. In the late 1960s he planned “Moving monochromes“, plain canvases stretched between two slowly turning rolls; drawings from this period still survive today.”

Jan Stanisław Wojciechowski“Wincenty Dunikowski-Duniko is one of the most important representatives of that narrow elite of debutants of the 1970s, who went abroad and thanks to their talent, personal determination and international position gained while still back in Poland, maintained high standard of their own art.”
Art – Reality – Game
Kultura Współczesna (1/2004)
Ryszard W. Kluszczyński“Dunikowski’s art not only originates from, but still belongs to the circle in which art assumes the form of a unique set of games, outlined above. His affiliation with the artistic formation which emerged in the 1970s and lent impetus to the attitude/tendency described herein is hardly debatable.”

Grzegorz Dziamski“Dunikowski’s generation was the first generation in Polish art, which had to face these challenges, had to find their place in the post-artistic age. It was the generation capable of seeing art everywhere. “MY BEST PICTURE IS DAY. MY BEST ENGARVING IS NIGHT….” Finally, it was the first generation, which was able to establish a totally non-institutional, fully alternative system of art because it could show its art everywhere.”
Wincenty Dunikowski–Duniko and his Saturated Space
Catalog “My Best...”, 1995
Ryszard Stanisławski“Dunikowski’s works are connected by their strong emotional charge. They are connected by the intuitive factor of memory, passion, eternal return, by rejecting an idea and accepting it again, by the denial of what has been done, and especially by that very particular personal engagement of this artist, his aspiration, I would say, to risk and challenge.”
He Directly Personifies the ldea of Art
Catalog “My Best...“, 1995
Jan Stanisław Wojciechowski“Through his many years of uncompromising practice, Wincenty Dunikowski has come to directly personify the idea of art. One has the urge to say that he »lives« in this idea, taking up the challenge of the times in which he lives.”

Konrad ScheurmannChanges, variations, and the course of processes – these are the phenomena he encompasses, using various means of artistic expression; analyzes, using strikingly simple means; and presents visually. In this way he achieves startling effects, conveying his uncommon visual experiences and attitudes.
