Krzywak

Sebastian Krzywak was born in 1979 in Zielona Góra. From 2000 to 2005 he studied at the Faculty of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan in the studio of Prof. Włodzimierz Dudkowiak. Since 2015 he has been an assistant in the 1st Painting Studio of Prof. Andrzej Leśnik at the University of Arts in Poznań. He lives and works in Poznań.

Krzywak is an artist who introduces organic and microbial forms to classically understood abstract geometry. Regular shapes such as the line, square or point are developed into pure unbridled abstraction seemingly losing their shape in favour of blurring or erasure.

By dissecting the painting process, Sebastian Krzywak's paintings become a space for the coexistence of seemingly contradictory notions of destruction and creation or destruction and construction.

For Krzywak, the time he sets aside for preparation - the creation of a project for an imagined work - is as important as the creative process itself. The seemingly sloppy paint or spray strokes applied to the canvas at the final stage of the work are the result of the long-lasting processual nature of the artist's work.

Extremely original and sublime paintings are created at the meeting point of various painting techniques and materials, i.e. enamel and acrylic, for example.
