Antoni Walerych

Alles ist wahr und auch das Gegenteil
(Everything is real and the reverse as well)

Karl Kraus

Antoni the submissive

The space is liberated, and then embraced by him with a steel form, gently, timidly, almost tenderly. Steel, a hard material used to arouse terror in the human history, becomes a melody in Antoni’s huge hands. His work is characterised by simplicity, ascetism, honesty of message, and human scale perception. He tames the chaos of steel strings joining them with gold. Freely using the three dimensions, he reaches the fourth - the space for music.
Given such unwavering nobility of choice, in the works signed Walerych there is no Antoni... just sculpture.
