American artist Paul Chojnowski from Massachusetts has been exhibiting burned and scorched art since 1993.

In spring 2001, works from Paul Chojnowski's "American Nocturne" series were selected for display in the special exhibit entitled Burn: Artists Play With Fire at the Norton Museum in West Palm Beach, Florida. For the summer showing that year, the exhibit traveled to the Columbia Museum of Art in Columbia, South Carolina.

In 2002, more of Paul Chojnowski's works along with works by Andrew Bennett and John Cage were selected for the Hot Art: Burning Images special exhibit at the University of Arizona Museum of Art in Tucson, Arizona.

There is an excellent catalogue available through the Norton Museum of the Burn: Artists Play With Fire exhibit. The artist's own book, entitled Paul Choznowski: Revealed by Fire, is a fine collection of 15 pieces from his nocturne series on paper and is available through the University of Arizona Museum of Art. Both books are soft cover and in color.

Paul Chojnowski's story and more examples of his art work are featured in an on-line article in the July–August 2003 Pyrograffiti.
