crayon on Perspex in artist's frame

A provocative and self-referential work by Polish artist Piotr Uklański, this piece uses crayon on Perspex — a transparent acrylic material — to create a layered interplay between mark-making and the void beneath. The artist's choice to present the work in his own custom frame elevates the boundaries of the piece into an integral part of the artwork itself, blurring the line between object and container. Uklański's characteristically conceptual approach challenges conventions of medium and authorship, inviting the viewer to question what constitutes the artwork.
