Peter Kachny
Sacramento, 2022.
oil on canvas, 140 x 80 cm

Born in 1978 in Kluczbork (Opole province). He graduated from the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Faculty of Pedagogy and Art in Kalisz) with a degree in EASP (diploma in painting) and the National College of Art and Design (Dublin). He paints, does fine art photography and photomontage.

In both painting and photography he is interested in the human figure. He uses images of people he often knows as a pretext to build an image. The face itself can be an architectural building for him, for example. However, what matters most is what is very often invisible at first glance: emotions, feelings, state of mind, character.... In addition, he shows what is sensual in man, and with which he has lost contact due to the influence of culture, the conventions associated with it, including education. His paintings are also inspired by various attitudes or patterns of social behavior.
