Description

Piotr Bury Łakomy (Gorzów Wielkopolski, 1983) lives and works in Poznań, Poland.

Piotr Bury Łakomy explores in his practice the relationship between the human body, architecture, and the environment. Bury Łakomy is known for using both organic and industrial materials in his work, often focusing on aluminum honeycomb – a material traditionally used in construction industries – which he employs in a way that suggests natural formation. Apart from the formal properties of the honeycomb, Łakomy considers its cellular structure a pattern that symbolizes the potential for dwelling. With the use of ostrich eggs, which often appear in his work, the artist refers to the sphere as a basic architectural form and as a shelter for life. Traces of life and death, buildings and ruins are suggested through the modification of body bags, umbrellas, tent poles and door frames, speaking of both the body and its environment.
