Polish street artist- Zbiok makes work that can have the same effect on its viewers. Rooted in post-Iron Curtain Poland,he has ties to punk and hip-hop, but his work looks like no other artist’s associated with either. The feel of eighties graffiti is there as an intangible, not limited to any one visual cue. His imagery is far reaching in the sources of influence it indicates. Sometimes matching a political sensibility to his electric colors and pop savvy, Zbiok’s pieces are immediate, while inviting longer meditation on their full complexity. In a recent interview he noted the influence of music on his work, highlighting his all-inclusive scope as “jazz to death metal.” His characters and iconography feel refreshingly alien to American street art thus far.
“IT HURTS” is an acknowledgment that everybody feels things strongly,that each of us is viscerally affected by people and events near to us. But even halfway around the world, a person or event can hit us like a force of nature. Loving someone so much it feels like an entity unto itself, feelingan overwhelming urge to change the world – nothing can make you more vulnerable. But nothing else will go as far to amplify your joy.
