Sławomir Brzoska

Professor Sławomir Brzoska is a distinguished artist and academic affiliated with the University of Arts in Poznań, where he serves as Professor at the Faculty of Sculpture and Spatial Activities. He also heads the Spatial Activities Studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice since 2012. With a career spanning nearly three decades, Brzoska has established himself as a significant figure in contemporary geometric and abstract art, having created over 90 solo exhibitions and participated in more than 200 group exhibitions worldwide.

Brzoska's artistic practice is deeply rooted in philosophical symbolism and the exploration of universal harmony and order. His work investigates the relationships between opposing phenomena such as white and black, circle and square, lightness and weight, masculinity and femininity. He creates both permanent sculptures and ephemeral installations using diverse materials including metal, wood, paper, string, and wool. His recent works demonstrate continued exploration of geometric forms and spatial relationships, with particular focus on string installations that stretch between architectural elements, as evidenced in his 2024 retrospective 'CIRCUMAMBULATIO' showcasing 90 works created between 1994-2024.
