Lukasz Skapski studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, at the Department of Painting. He lives and works in Cracow (Poland). He is a member of Supergrupa Azorro.
He makes installations, objects, photography and video. In the nineties he was interested especially in the metaphysical potential of reality. Art that he created reflected both his interest in the tradition of conceptualism and in minimalism. He was fascinated by astronomy, optical and solar phenomena. What he did reflected also his pragmatic approach to our ability of perceiving the world. However, his works do not lack distance, irony and critical analysis. Since the year 2000 he makes films. Lukasz Skapski resigns partly from "esotericism" and the analysis of the metaphysics of things for the sake of socially oriented projects. However, in some of his works you can still find the specific minimalism of form.
A very important theme of his art are works forming cycles or typologies. The first collection of this kind - the portraits of Mao Zedong entitled "Szeregi / The Rows" (1990-1991) - was made during his stay in China. Skapski keeps coming back in his art to the method of putting into rows. This is also visible in the project called "Maszyny /Machines" from 2005.
