Piotr Michnikowski

Sculptor (diploma of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, 1985)

He deals mainly with chamber sculpture, most often in bronze and ceramics, he also combines various other materials. A favorite and characteristic feature of his work are multi-colored ceramic reliefs made on the basis of his own glaze recipes and firing techniques, as well as interactive spatial forms referring to music, called by the author instruments. The complexity and multiple use of many techniques and properties of materials in one work, such as sound, weight or fragility, raises it to the rank of a means of expression. Multithreading and multilayeredness, both in the sphere of meaning and visual, is by definition, as he claims, an image of the complexity of human life.

 

He has had many individual and group exhibitions, as well as the implementation of sculptures, medals and projects functioning in public space.
