VINCENT SZAREK
The work of Vincent Szarek unites minimalist art with American pop culture.
During his studies he worked in a body shop, which made him well familiar with the world of automobiles, their construction materials and the production techniques. The skills he thereby acquired have since then been applied to his artistic creativity. He uses glass fiber, aluminum, chrome, urethane and varnish as materials in his works.
By analyzing the phenomenon of the individualization of mass production, he deals with the daily life subject as an apparently trivial manner. He transforms simple things, such as well-known design logos or symbols, to artworks and puts them into a completely new dimension. Vincent Szarek enjoys the idea of giving an individual touch to a well-known motif, thereby creating something new.
Vincent Szarek was born 1973 in Westerly, Rhode Island. He lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide.
