Zyga’s body of work is at once beautiful and celebratory of the human form; mysterious in the abstract use of symbols; and haunting with an aura of a dream-like, imagined world. His sculptures look deep into human nature and explore feelings of love, desires, longings, temptations looking for answer into what makes us human….
Marek Zyga( 1968 ), figurative sculptor with a life-long passion for art, began working with clay in 2003. Zyga is an inspirational, thought-provoking artist, who moulds and shapes human emotions into every sculpture. As a figurative sculptor, he is most interested in the human form and especially in rendering gestures that evoke human behaviour, emotions, and relationships.
He says, “My sculptures are like processed images from reality to some extent they are stories.” The male and female form are at the forefront of his work, where letters and glazed patterns embody each piece.
Each piece starts from a small model made from a gypsum (plaster) mould. Using extrusion, impression, casting, and modelling, artist creates his forms in segments which make up the final life-size sculpture. Zyga is fascinated by the rough texture of chamotte clay, which has a great deal of grog; a fired clay, ground into coarse particles and added to wet clay to produce a gritty, rough texture called “tooth.” Texture and patterns are formed across the figures as clay segments are built up and pressed next to each other. These modelling techniques create an organic surface texture reminiscent of earth and stone. The garments are coloured with glazes, pigments and engobes made of coloured clay slips that enhance their texture, pattern, and form.
