Przemek Pyszczek is a Polish-born, Canadian-raised artist. After living in Berlin for eight years, he relocated to the Polish-German border zone, living in a small Polish village to continue his artistic research. Through architecturally inspired sculptures, installations, and paintings, Pyszczek’s work traces Poland’s transition since the fall of the Iron Curtain, as well as serving as an ongoing journey to rediscover and contextualize his own past and present.
He received a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Design from the University of Manitoba, and has recently presented solo exhibitions at Ribot Gallery, Milan, Campeche, Mexico City, Belenius, Stockholm, Galerie Derouillon, Paris, Galeria Leto, Warsaw, and Plug In ICA, Winnipeg. He has also presented large-scale installations as part of the Narracje festival in Gdansk, PL and Anozero ‘19 - Bienal de Coimbra in Portugal. He was recently included in 100 Sculptors of Tomorrow, published by Thames & Hudson.
