Theo Wujcik
Punk, professor, painter, printmaker—a man unchained by convention who lived to his own beat. Recognized for his meticulous silverpoint portraits, and for dazzling, fragmented paintings.
Theo Wujcik was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. He was the ninth of ten children of Polish immigrants. As a child, Theo was constantly drawing. In 1954, he dropped out of technical highschool, and joined the Army Corps of Engineers and was stationed in France. While in the service, he created the posters for upcoming events and movies and was encouraged to return to New York to study art on the G.I. Bill. Wujcik went on to study at the College for Creative Studies (CSS) in Detroit, under the modernist Sarkis Sarkisian, and then at the Creative Graphic Workshop in New York City. He taught at CSS prior
to his postgraduate work with funding from the Ford Foundation, he went on to train as a master printer at Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Albuquerque,and in Los Angeles, where he printed for artists such as John Altoon, Ed Moses,
Billy Al Bengston and Jasper Johns. Upon his return to Detroit, Wujcik cofounded the Detroit Lithography Workshop with master printer Aris Koutroulis. Wujcik began showing at the Donald Morris Gallery in Detroit, and continued to teach printmaking at CCS through 1970. In 1970, Wujcik moved to Tampa, Florida, to become director of Graphic studio at the University of South Florida.
