Honza Zamojski (b. 1981; Poznań, Poland)

It is the simplest of forms: the stick figure—humorous and naïve. Honza Zamojski is no stranger to these qualities. His work, spanning multiple forms of media, exudes an unabashedly childlike spirit, fusing playful curiosity and subjectivity that, at first glance, might belie its philosophical and intellectual rigor.

The personal melds with the theoretical and the banal in equal measure. Zamojski celebrates and explores the commonplace, yielding work that directly confronts the mundane, inviting inquiry on a structural and ethical level. Known for his commentary on contemporary culture, Zamojski shifts between sculpture, photography, and art book publishing, often complimenting his creative acts with original theories that pare the abstract process of creation with self-made systems of classification.

Polish artist Honza Zamojski's practice spans multiple genres and mediums, from photography, to drawing, to sculpture. He studied philosophy at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland, as well typography at the Poznan Academy of Fine Arts. In 2008 Zamojski won a scholarship and received an artist’s residency in Prague. Since then, beyond his artistic practice, he has also established a small publishing house in Poland.

His works have been featured in solo exhibitions at Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw, Poland; FUTURA, Prague,Czech Republic; One Star Press, Paris, France; Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York; and Drei, Cologne, Germany.
