About the Item

Szymon Oltarzewski was born in 1977 in Poland. Graduated in Environmental Engineering from the University of Opole, in 2003 he moved to Pietrasanta where he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara. Simultaneously he started to work with different artisans and foundries in the area, working with some of the greatest contemporary sculptors that shared their experiences and knowledge, giving to him the opportunity to work with them on the each fase of the sculpture artistic process. In 2009 he completed the first series of marble sculptures and, since then, he had five solo exhibitions and partecipated in many shows internationally, including museums, private galleries and fairs. The marble that come to light from large blocks is always the undisputed protagonist in Szymon Oltarzewski’s work. Echo organic forms are reminiscent of cells, bodies with morbid movement and surface refinement. The subjects represented constitute a repertoire that sweeps from cellular world to the human one and surpasses it in a continuous dialogue between the microcosms and macrocosms, from simple life forms and complex organisms, who connect between their correspondent regime and equivalence, as every piece has value both as single entity and as part of the whole. Including objects both more figurative and abstract, Oltarzewski recounts a story of an evolution. Forms that grows and rise together, from cell to alien, which is not only extra-terrestrial, but seen simply as ‘the other’ - something that is not identified because it’s not recognizable.
