Piotr Bury Łakomy’s artistic practice explores the complex relationship between the human body, architecture, and the environment. His work is characterised by a synthesis of organic and industrial materials, challenging conventional boundaries between the natural and the manufactured.
Central to his artistic vocabulary is aluminium honeycomb, a material primarily associated with aerospace and construction industries. The artist manipulates this industrial product, folding and shaping it to evoke natural formations. Rather than focusing on grandiose structures, Piotr Bury Łakomy’s architectural fascination lies in the fundamental concept of shelter, a preoccupation evident through his frequent incorporation of organic materials such as ostrich eggs. For the artist, the egg represents both a basic architectural form as well as a primordial shelter for life itself, further underscoring the interplay between the built environment and natural world.
