| Jacek Wankowski | |
)
|
Jacek Wankowski shares his time between the Hunter Valley, north of Sydney, Australia and London, UK. He originally trained and worked internationally as a Marine Biologist, is a keen SCUBA diver and international traveller and draws upon these experiences to inform his practice. Since graduating in 2006 from the National Art School in Sydney, he has exhibited his large scale outdoor sculptures and smaller, intimate indoor pieces internationally in numerous exhibitions in Sydney, in the New South Wales Hunter Valley and in London and the UK. His work is in private collections in Australia and the UK. |
| About the Artist | |
Jacek is fascinated by the underwater world: the strange, fragile life forms that live there and the huge forces of tide and current that surge around them. He has explored this world via his studies in marine biology and during his early professional life as a Marine Biologist in Scotland, Papua New Guinea and Australia. His practice offers a dynamic, personal perspective on this world, and builds on the abstract Modernist traditions and international sculpture of the past 80 years – Miro, Kandinsky, Frankenthaler, Rothko, Keifer, Moore, Serra, Goldsworthy, Caro, Kapoor, Twombly, Gehry, Hadid. |
