Bartosz Janczak, Pershing

acrylic / wood
23 x 24 x 23 cm

He is a sculptor, graphic designer and curator born in 1984 in Poland. He has been traveling around the world for almost two decades. He currently resides on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. His designs are inspired by military defense structures, brutalist architecture and Eastern Bloc monuments. They are aggressors that tear the air with their edges, at other times coming together in a tender impasse. His art is very raw. Heavy, blocky shapes interspersed with refined compositions interact in surprising ways. Always white, they give reference to antiquity in an almost spiritual experience. The artist's large-scale sculptures can be found in Spain, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, China and Taiwan. In addition, he is also the co-founder of the Sonder Foundation, an organization that supports and promotes the work of artists involved in abstract contemporary art.
