Krzysztof Brzuzan
Born in 1956 in Boleslawiec Slaski. Graduated from the Faculty of Sculpture at the Cracow Academy of Fine Arts. Diploma with honors in the studio of Prof. Marian Konieczny in 1980. During his studies, twice awarded scholarships by the Ministry of Culture and Art for academic achievements. Actively participates in exhibitions of Rzeszow community and national exhibitions. His achievements include several solo exhibitions. He also cultivates monumental and sacred sculpture. He is a multiple winner of the cyclical exhibition "Painting, Graphics, Drawing, Sculpture of the Year".
His works are in private and museum collections around the world. Well known to Rzeszow residents for his cast bronze sculptures exposed in the urban space. These include a statue of Adam Mickiewicz, Jan Pakoslawic, or a urchin aiming at a street lamp at the Elektromontaż office building. The latter sculpture Krzysztof Brzuzan once jokingly called the smallest monument to a revolutionary act. In art, he refers to many cultural tropes, great classics and folk artists.
"Thus, I see beauty in transient things that are often degraded. I am engaged in recycling art, cultural recycling. This slogan accompanies this collection. I restore the past world, its objects and matter. I use objects that are already in disrepair, disregarded, degraded by time. I still see their beauty and new values."
