Leszek Michalski, Benchers, 2022

Patinated bronze, 16 x 12 x 17 cm

Born in 1960 in Warsaw. Already at the age of fifteen, he began his art education at the Friends of Zacheta Society. In 1979, he began studying at the School of Industrial Form Design in Halle, Germany, at the Department of Toy Design. Since 1998, he has been working mainly in metal sculpture. He works in brass and bronze, creating collections of intimate sculptures. He is most likely to show his work in unusual places - clubs, basements, industrial spaces, open-air locations. This is his way of building a certain relationship, a relationship between reality, sculpture and the viewer. In 2002 he was awarded the diploma "Creator of Polish Culture". He is the author of more than a dozen solo exhibitions and has participated in more than 20 group exhibitions throughout Europe, including Italy, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Austria.
