Leszek Michalski was born in 1960 in Warsaw. When Leszek was 15, he started his artistic education as part of workshops in Zachęta [National Art Gallery]. In 1979 he entered the Toy Design department at Academy of Industrial Design in Halle. Since 1998 has mainly devoted himself to sculptures, working in metal. Leszek uses brass and bronze for his small collections. He chooses atypical places as backgrounds for his work: clubs, basements, industrial spaces and open air events, which allow him to create a particular relationship between reality, sculpture and spectator. In 2002 was awarded with “The Creator of Polish Culture” diploma. Leszek Michalski ist im Jahre 1960 in Warschau geboren. Er beschäftigt sich mit der Bildhauerei. Seine Plastiken macht er in Bronze und Aluminium. Am liebsten macht er kleine gemütliche Serien von Plastiken zu einem bestimmten Thema. Sehr gerne stellt Leszek seine Werke in untypischen Ausstellungsräumen aus, wie z.B. Klubs, postindustriellen Hallen, Kellern und im Freien. Dort hat er die Möglichkeit interessante Relationen zwischen den Plastiken, der Umgebung und den Besuchern zu schaffen. Im Jahre 2002 erhielt er den Preis „Twórca Kultury Polskiej“ (Schöpfer der polnischen Kultur). Er hatte mehr als 30 individuelle Ausstellungen in Polen und anderen europäischen Ländern sowie stellte seine Werke in vielen Ausstellungen mit anderen Künstlern aus. Leszek Michalski est né en 1960 à Varsovie. À l’âge de 15 ans, il commence son éducation artistique au sein de l’atelier de Zachęta [galérie nationale de l’art]. En 1979, il entre à la faculté du Design de Jeux à l’Académie du Design industriel à Halle en Allemahme. En 1998, il se penche vers la sculpture, travaillant avec le métal. Il opte pour le laiton et le bronze qui lui servent de matériel de base pour ses petites collections. Il choisit des endroits atypiques pour montrer son œuvre : clubs, sous-sols, espaces industriels, en pleins-airs où il crée une relation particulière entre la réalité, la sculpture et le spectateur. En 2002, il lui est décerné le diplôme du “créateur de la culture polonaise”.
