The PEAC Museum is presenting a solo exhibition by Polish artist Michał Budny (b. 1976, Leszno, Poland) for the first time. Budny’s artistic process begins with close observation of emotions, places, and relationships. The sculptures that emerge from this process draw on a formal language rooted in the traditions of Minimal Art and Constructivism. Despite their reduced abstraction and material presence, his works subtly evoke memories and emotions. For the PEAC Museum, the artist has developed an extensive exhibition featuring works created over the past twenty years.
Michał Budny was born in 1976 in Leszno, Poland. He lives and works between Warsaw and Prague. In 2007, he participated in the 10th Triennial of Small-Scale Sculpture in Fellbach, followed by Manifesta 7 in Trentino in 2008. His subsequent solo exhibitions include presentations at South London Gallery in 2010, Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsseldorf, and Kunstmuseum Stuttgart in 2011, the National Gallery of Art in Vilnius, Lithuania, in 2012, Saarlandmuseum in Saarbrücken in 2015, and Kunstmuseum Luzern in 2020/2021.
The artist is already represented in the Paul Ege Art Collection with several works.
