Marek Zyga Van Loon Galleries

Exhibition

Marek Zyga (Poland 1968)

As a sculptor, Zyga has a fascination with humans, their bodies and behaviour. The sculptures are like processed images from reality, to some extent they are stories. Ideas take shape, after which he sculpts in clay and forms in plaster.

Marek Zyga trained as a ceramist in the Polish city of Boleslawiec and now has years of experience working in all kinds of ceramics. He has an incredible interest in the rough structure of this material and is attracted to its great potential. By applying pressure to it, making castings and modelling, the artist plays with the great diversity of this product. By using different techniques, he gets a great structural difference in the clay. He decorates his sculptures with angobami, pigments and glazes. Marek Zyga’s sculptures involve classical sculptural forms with sometimes a touch of surrealism. He sees the letters, numbers and indications that Zyga places on his sculptures as a moving part of a fascinating and mysterious world, while one does not clearly know where it comes from and where it goes, but it perfectly represents what we are.
