Olaf Brzeski
Wanderer

Monumental sculp­ture of a wan­derer made of steel pipes and rods is a story of a great jour­ney, a dream and a riddle of the future created by Olaf Brzeski.

It blows my mind

In the Eye

Metal sculp­ture in a private garden near the Kam­pinos Forest.

from the Adventure series (half dream)

The sculp­ture shows a state of suspen­sion, half existence, half non-​existence. This unusually dif­ficult maneuver of the mind, in which you have to cope with the trans­ition from one state of being into the next

from the Adventure series (pleasure from a compliment)

The artist shows an illustration of the dopamine flood of our mesolim­bic system in the form of a still life.

from the Adventure series (self-seeker)

As in Brzeski’s ear­lier works, also here the sculp­ture is stron­gly related to the drawing. The artist uses stains and lines, and what is figurative inter­twines with abs­tract forms.

About Life and Death

Among the latest works by Olaf Brzeski presen­ted at the Adven­ture exhibition, there is a short series of intimate objects with a decorative and func­tional charac­ter. These are original, ceramic vases with attached ashtrays.

Post Tenebras Lux

The set of in-​glaze pain­ted and triple-​fired ceramic plates bears a Latin title: Post Tenebras Lux, which mean “after dark­ness comes the light”.

The Adventures of the Boiling Head

Bend of Black Thought

This unique object of pain­ted black steel, attached to the ceiling, evokes a cer­tain state of mind of the artist.

The Life of a Pipe

A Piece of Wood the Size of a Briefcase Is No Particular Thought in Its Pure Form. I Dropped It into the Sea

Handy Landscape

Tu montreras ma tête au peuple, elle en vaut la peine (“Do not forget to show my head to the people, it is well worth seeing”)

I Speak Things

Camera

Loosing Face

Whisper from the Back of the Head

Dorota

Dorota is a monumen­tal por­trait of a short woman – her 280 cm heigh body is prenaturally large and over­scaled, yet sur­prisin­gly flimsy.
