Marcin RUSAK<\/strong>
Born in Warsaw in 1987, artist and designer Marcin Rusak, whose work spans several disciplines, is considered to be a rising star in contemporary design. After studying at Warsaw University and Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, Eindhoven Design Academy and London’s Royal College of Arts, Marcin Rusak made his home in London before returning to Warsaw recently to found his own studio. The winner in 2015 of the Perrier-Jou\u00ebt Arts Salon prize, and the Wallpaper Design Award in 2016, his work has been exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Vienna, Miami, Milan and Dubai.

In his work, Marcin Rusak explores the ephemeral nature of the material world. Taking an interest in decomposition and the ageing of organic matter, Marcin Rusak delves deep into nature in order to ask questions about our culture of consumption and waste whilst simultaneously paying tribute to his family heritage: born into a family of horticulturalists, the Polish artists takes flowers thrown away by florists and transforms them into works of art. By drowning leaves and flowers in resin, he freezes reminiscenses in order to reveal their beauty. The ensuing natural vegatal motifs stand in contrast to the black resin, reminding us of the still lives created by the Flemish painters of the XIXth century, and have the look of fossils disappearing into the material.<\/p>\n
