Stanislaw Trzebinksi, "Mensam Meridium", Bronze, Walnut and Epoxy Table

About the Item

Stanislaw grew up in Nairobi, Kenya in a richly creative household filled with paintings by his late father accomplished artist Tonio Trzebinski artworks by close friends such as neighbour Peter Beard, countless books on art and design, and visceral interiors created by his fashion-designer mother Anna Trzebinski. Though they lived in the city, the pull of the ocean was ever-present. His father was an avid surfer and fisherman and weekends were spent together free-diving, fishing and camping in Kenya's outdoors inspiring a reverence for nature that has stayed with the artist ever since. Our indifference towards nature is the biggest threat to humans, he says. “We know so little about our oceans, yet we are destroying them at such a fast rate. We don’t even know what we’re losing.” It is that sense of the unknown, the unexplored parts of the ocean and as-yet undiscovered life forms, that Stanislaw’s sculptures beckon to. Light is a recurring theme in the collection and many of the pieces include small LED lights that create the effect of bioluminescence. In the absence of light continues the exploration of Stanislaw’s extra-terrestrial series from 2018, enigmatic sculptural works that appear ancient and weathered even as they sprout new tendrils of life. Reminiscent of diverse organic forms such as coral, fungi and stalactites, the pieces seem to have grown biologically. Like many of his other works, they are emblazoned with the snaky, winding marks of Turing patterns, which model organic patterning in nature such as stripes and spots. Stanislaw’s new exhibition will launch a series of tables, an imposing installation of standing chandeliers (some as tall as 3.6 metres) that people can weave their way through and suspended “sea heart” lights, among other functional sculptural works. Stanislaw has chosen to donate a percentage of the sales from this exhibition to Local Ocean Conservation, a Kenyan not-for-profit organisation that works to protect the country’s marine environment though ocean conservation, education and outreach programmes. It focuses on the protection, rescue and rehabilitation of turtles on Kenya’s southern coast and in the Watamu Marine National Park and Reserve, where Stanislaw fished, snorkelled and kite-surfed as a child.
