Dariusz Grobelny

Level 8

My work attempts to explore the tensions between geometric and organic forms. The context for my research stems from memories of my childhood growing up in Poland. Moving from the former Polish People’s Republic to joining the EEC in 1989 represents a dramatic social and cultural change, typified by an experience of restriction to one of plenty. This oppositional tension has become the theme within my practice.
