Bartosz Janczak - born 27th of June 1984 - is a sculptor, curator and designer from Poland. He's traveling around the world since twenty years and currently living in the island of Luzon in The Phillipines. After spending ten years in the field of design, working for some of the best advertising agencies and most renowned brands in the world, he decided to follow his heart and become an artist.
His abstract structures are inspired by military defense structures, brutalist architecture and eastern bloc monuments. They have an aggressive appearance and seem as if they tear apart the air with their edges, other times they appear bonded in a deadlock. The purpose of his art is to save the cultural heritage of the urban past, blend it with contemporary social issues, and receive a vision of the future at the nish of the creative process.
You can find his sculptures in various countries Spain, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, China, and Taiwan. Bartosz is also a co-founder of the Sonder Foundation, an organization supporting and promoting the activities of abstract contemporary artists.
