Portrait of a Young Man

from the series “It Blows My Mind”

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.

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”.

Bend of Black Thought

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

I Speak Things

Dorota

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

At Heart

Self-portrait

The artist’s self-​portrait as an endearing liar – a flesh and blood Pinokio.

Little Orphans

A study of poten­tiality – pure, raw, sculp­tural mass, but at the same time also a play on the weight of the art and its forms of exhibition.
