ARTWORK IN CONTEST

URSUS AND ODYSSEY, 2013

SCULPTURE - Aluminium casting
cm 63 x 42 x 7

In Michal Staszczak's work there is a refined and expert assembly of contemporary objects, for example, extracts from the electronic and mechanical technology, which seems to allude to an imaginary and unknown machine, but with a vague allusion, even to organic structures. It acquires a layout of fantastic and fascinating archeology thorough the metallic coating.
