Born in Sopot, Poland in 1945, studied architecture and poster design. As a student he begun contributing drawings to Polish magazines.
From 1970 to 1972 Dudziński lived in London working for such underground magazines as Oz, Ink and Time Out. Back in Poland he quickly established his reputation, specifically with the help of a wingless bird of contest named Dudi − a regular feature in Poland’s foremost satirical weekly Szpilki. His work appeared in choice Polish periodicals, he designed posters for film and theater, illustrated books for children, designed sets for the stage and television and exhibited his fine art at Warsaw’s leading galleries.
In 1977 Dudziński was invited to the International Design Conference in Aspen, Colorado. He stayed on in New York City afterwards. Since then his work was published in most of the leading magazines and newspapers both in the US and Europe (including The Atlantic Monthly, The Boston Globe, Newsweek, The New York Times, Playboy, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, The Washington Post and Time. He received commissions from AT&T, Citicorp, IBM, Deutche Telekom, Nestle, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and many others.
From 1982 to 1989 Dudziński taught at Parson’s School of Design in New York. He now exhibits fine art (painting drawing, photography and digital paintings) dividing his time between New York and Warsaw.
In 2001 he became an honorary citizen of Sopot.
In 2002 Dudziński began work on a new cycle of digital paintings. In 2004 he designed sets for Warsaw’s National Theatre production of the Death of a Salesman. In 2007 Polish TV channel Culture featured Sunday with Andrzej Dudziński and in 2008 broadcast Dudi, a documentary on Dudziński’s life and work directed by Małgorzata Łupina. In April 2009 a richly illustrated memoir A Small Alphabet of Magda and Andrzej Dudziński was published by Wydawnictwo Literackie. At present he’s developing a script for an animation feature A Crazy Piece of Something to be directed by the artist.
