Tomasz Kowalski
Lalka 28.09-28.10.2023
I dedicate this show to my father Donat Kowalski.
Tomasz Kowalski was born in Szczebrzeszyn in 1984. He lives and works between Warsaw and Antwerp.
His paintings, sculptures and music capture the diffusion of a centreless world and the ways in which such conditions impact our perceptions of basic categories, such as selfhood, space and time. His works suggest a conception of society where sleep, introspection, dreaming and wakefulness are equally present. They assert the unconscious as a liberating force – at once in and out of this world.
His works are held in the public collections of Centre Pompidou, MUMOK, MOCAK, Frac des Pays de la Loire, Francois Pinault, Boros. He is the winner of the Guerlain Foundation Drawing Award 2014. He runs Alicja, a music label releasing various artists and his own music and audio-plays.
