Norwich based multimedia artist, Marek Jeczalik, has had an obsession with learning how things work since early childhood.
He utilizes this knowledge gleaned from then until the present day, to bring his ideas and passions to life. The breadth of his outputs are very wide ranging, from micro sculptures, automatons, and antique photography, through to paintings, sound art and short films.
For the most part, his works centre around the themes of Childhood, Nostalgia, and Memories, explored through any number of lenses.
The pieces, whether digital, painted, printed, made of wood, metal, or glass are designed to make the audience connect, or reflect upon their own past, the pasts of ancestors, or even of potential persons from a distant point in the future. His more abstract works are created to persuade the viewer to glean their own personal recollections/connections by resonating with a specific element within each piece.
Marek believes his most successful artworks leave the viewer with a sense of delight, whether this stems simply from the humour of a work, intrigue as to how an effect is achieved, or the happiness gained from the awakening of a dormant memory.
