Lou Jaworski

Lou Jaworski (*1981 in Warsaw, PL) follows a post-minimalist approach with a reduced visual language in his sculptures, installations, and prints. By using metaphorically or physically charged materials such as marble, ferrite magnets, graphite, and meteorites, he achieves a timeless and universal level in his work. For some of his works, Jaworski uses hardware from server racks as architectural structures to explore the potential of material memory and storage. The strong haptic presence of the chosen materials often evokes both mystical and digital references to grids and 3D renderings. Interested in metaphysical questions, pictorial traditions, and phenomena of human perception, Jaworski's conceptual works are characterized by the interplay of material autonomy, ephemeral abstraction, and physical laws, which he implements in a space-specific manner. The artist understands his works to be amplifiers of architectural elements and material properties, as well as trains of thought and energies, which combine to form expansive installations.

His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Phingyao (China), New York, Munich and Tel Aviv. In 2017 Jaworski was part of the Festival of Future Nows at Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, directed by Udo Kittelmann. In 2016 he received the Debut Award of the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture and in 2017 the Studio Grant of the City of Munich. Lou Jaworski's works are part of the Bavarian State Painting Collections and are represented in private collections in Germany and Switzerland.
