Krzysztof Leon Dziemaszkiewicz
Performance artist, painter and creator of objects. Born in 1963 in Lipiany, from 1982 to 2014 he lived in Sopot, where he actively participated in the artistic and cultural life of the region, starting from the period of his studies at the University of Gdańsk, through his involvement in theaters: Teatr Ekspresji, SFINKS and Teatr Patrz Mi Na Usta, to his individual performances. At present he lives and works in Berlin.
Dziemaszkiewicz has also been creating paintings and objects for many years. He works using an original technique he calls “tape art,” in which the basic tool and material is adhesive tape. Tape and the artist’s body have always been important elements in his work, so tape art has been a natural consequence and evolution in the artist’s performances.
Dziemaszkiewicz’s transgenic and transsexual work is intended to connect opposites and raise questions about the boundaries between humanity and animalism. His work taps into premonitions, instincts and emotions, and its overriding principle is sincerity. His uncompromising stance in the face of social constraints results in a unique language of artistic expression. The artist is what he wants himself and his work to be – in the name of the freedom of every human being. Dziemaszkiewicz’s art has been shown in the USA, China, France, Germany, Turkey, the Czech Republic and Canada, among others. He fully identifies himself with his work.
