Tomasz Górnicki
Artist, Sculptor
One of the leading Polish sculptors of the young generation, puts existential topics at the center of his considerations. Using both figuration and abstraction, the artist explores borderline emotional states. Using myths and symbols, he shows the influence that culture has on an individual. In his works, he moves between personal/ intimate and public/ institutional spheres. Breaking exposition patterns, he installs his sculptural realizations in public spaces, and confronts the viewer with works about the oppressiveness of social and political institutions.
The universal motive of his work is corporeality, expressive nudity, and the limits of eroticism. Tomasz Górnicki collaborates with artists of various media, revealing the interdisciplinary nature of sculpture, thus increasing the circle of recipients of this field of art. He has collaborated with the leading creators of Polish street art. His works have been exhibited at numerous individual and collective exhibitions in Europe and around the world. In 2022, the digital image of his work in the form of the NFT token was the first to appear on the Polish art market.
