Jakub Trajter

Jakub Trajter's work delves into the intersection of physical and metaphysical realms, examining how abstract mathematical concepts and digital data shape our understanding of reality. His installations often juxtapose ecological concerns with economic indicators, using 3D printing technology to materialize these abstract relationships. Through his art, Trajter invites viewers to reflect on the human condition, the continuous cycle of chaos and order, and the delicate equilibrium that defines our existence.

Artistic Approach

Jakub Trajter employs unconventional materials and techniques to explore new understandings of space and three-dimensional forms. His early works focused on precise realizations in marble, granite, bronze, and wood, emphasizing the surface and aura of forms. Later, he transitioned to using metal waste, meticulously reworking materials to give them new shapes. Trajter's expressive-dramatic sculptures range from stark constructivist assemblies to dynamic baroque-like compositions, utilizing color and natural metal textures to accentuate fire marks and the passage of time. His repertoire includes ships, cosmic shapes, futuristic city visions, trees, fantastical beasts, birds, monsters, and figures conveying timeless meanings. His latest work revisits the bronze solitaire, creating a concept of "futuristic sculpture" that captures fleeting moments through multiple perspectives, evoking a sense of movement.
