Szaweł Płóciennik: the machines for living
20 february 2025
A city never stands still. It grows, changes, and forgets. But in the work of Polish artist Szaweł Płóciennik (b. 1987, Warsaw), the city remembers, not just its architecture, but also the people who shaped it. Through paintings and sculptures, Szaweł captures the fading presence of a community once intertwined with the urban landscape. His latest exhibition, 'The Machines for Living', at Uitstalling Gallery, is deeply personal yet universally resonant, drawing from his childhood memories and political shifts in post-Soviet Poland.
