Krzysztof Renes
SCULPTURE
Sculptor based in Warsaw. He belongs to the third generation of a family of sculptors and craftsmen. He implements and develops his own techniques, uses the solutions of modern industry, confronting it with the traditional language of sculpture. He explores two-dimensional space in sculpture where flat and three-dimensional sketch, drawing and sculpture are identical, 2D = 3D. Through his work, he looks for features of culture that reflects its origins and its boundaries in the technological and cultural dimension. These considerations are particularly visible in the Universale cycle. Nevertheless, all his works are always a form of dualism, operating on the border of figure and abstraction, tradition and modernity, culture and nature. And although almost all works refer to the image of a human being, for the author, his art is not only a figurative one. The transformed body is here a carrier of content, symbols or emotions - a sign in space.
He cooperates commercially with the sports market and business, creating awards and statuettes for elite events such as the Forbes 50 Most Influential People in Polish Sport or founded by Starak Foundation film competition called Imagine Yourself.
He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw at the Faculty of Sculpture (2015) and Sociology at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University (2009). Universale diploma was presented during the exhibition of the best diplomas of AoFA Coming Out (2015).
