Gilbert Gorski
Gilbert Gorski currently resides in western Pennsylvania, where he devotes much of his time to painting landscapes. He maintains a dual career as both a fine artist and an architect. Gorski earned his Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degrees from the Illinois Institute of Technology, and also pursued painting studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
As an architect, Gorski has designed landmark projects such as the World Headquarters for the McDonald’s Corporation in Oak Brook, Illinois, and the Oceanarium, a major addition to the John G. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. He has taught design studios and visualization techniques at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the University of Notre Dame, and the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Gorski has been awarded the Hugh Ferriss Memorial Prize twice by the Chicago Architectural Club. Despite his distinguished architectural background, he is drawn to the immediacy and expressive potential of painting. His landscape work emphasizes dynamic brushwork and the tactile qualities of the medium, offering viewers an evocative and deeply personal interpretation of the natural world.
