About Radek Husak
Rad Husak, a contemporary process-driven mixed media artist, was born in Poland in 1984. Based in London and with a Master’s degree from the Royal College of Art, his practice is firmly situated in the expanded field of print. Through extensive research and experimentation, Husak has developed his own process – defining the technique of pigment transfer combined with paint and hand-drawn elements on sandblasted aluminium, paper and canvas. His innovative approach and use of everyday materials enable him to continuously develop his technique.
By impressing images onto a variety of media, his work implies movement while referencing the trace itself. This new and dynamic approach to printmaking re-contextualises these by employing the glitch, digitally altering and manipulating the representation in the process.
In his work, Husak is attempting to bring order into a world that feels chaotic, beauty where there is ugliness. Taking humble aluminium, he transforms it into something which sparkles akin to stardust. Blasting through the outer layers of the metal, he reveals the reflective inner – heightening what was utilitarian and creating a sensation of something which is greater than itself. Husak is scratching at the divine, creating a moment of wonder.
