Lukasz Butkiewicz, Bear

patinated bronze, stone, 11x8x15 cm

Piotr Butkiewicz is a visual artist whose sculptures and paintings pose questions about the limits of visual communication and natural language, the relationship between visual form and its perception and meaning. With a certain sense of humor, he tackles the postmodern problem of the semantic incoherence of different systems of communication: iconic and verbal, and the cognitive limitations of communicating also through art.
