Damien Borowik

Damien Borowik makes handcrafted machines and uses them as creative tools to draw. With a strong emphasis in using unpredictability and chance in his work, Borowik explores the aleatoric mark-making qualities of the machines through automation and mediation. Currently, he controls the machines to create abstract drawing such as Expanding Squares and line studies, or deconstruct landscapes and cityscapes in figurative series.

In 2017, the Victoria and Albert Museum acquired 6 machine drawings form the artist to be part of their permanent collection.

This September 2017, 'Cherry Blossom and Mountains' was also shortlisted in the Lumen Prize as part of this year's Global Digital Art Awards in the Still Image category.

In December 2017, Damien was also invited as guest artist to showcase artworks and machines at The London Illustration Fair at the Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf.

Collections include Victoria & Albert Museum, Christian Dior Couture.

Clients list include BBC Worldwide, Samsung Electronics, Southbank Centre.
