Honza Zamojski (b. 1981) lives and works in Poznań (PL). Artist, designer, book publisher and (sometimes) curator who draws upon a broad range of media and artistic practice, from illustration and sculptures to infographics inspired by corporate communications and poetic word games. This variety reflects the spectrum of Zamojski’s interests, founded upon a utopian desire to put the world into an order he can make sense of. He creates narratives that, when considered over time, construct a cohesive, multidimensional realm wrought with philosophy of doubt. His minimalist forms are loaded with meaningful symbols, abstract compositions and figurative representations that make up a visual language governed by its own grammatical rules and formal structure. Elements that may appear disparate at first are united through their simplicity of form, punctuated by a sense of humour and irony. Honza Zamojski has authored more than a dozen books (including: Love Letter, onestar press, 2017; Four Eggs Theory, self-published, 2015; Fishing with John, NERO, 2013). He has also presented his original lecture series on How It’s Made at the Centre Pompidou, MoMA Library and Printed Matter New York.
