Vincent Szarek

Vincent Szarek (b. 1973, Rhode Island) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Szarek is known for highly finished sculptural forms that blend minimalist strategies with references to American pop culture. Drawing from materials and techniques native to industrial automotive design—including fiberglass, polyester resin, urethane, and custom paint varnishes—the artist renders sleek, meticulously fabricated objects that investigate the cultural tension between individual craftsmanship and mass production, as well as the relationship between the terrestrial and the cosmic.

He holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. He has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions internationally, including at MoMA PS1, New York, NY; the Albertina Museum, Vienna, AT; ZKM Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, DE; Museum im Kulturspeicher Würzburg, Würzburg, DE; and the Singapore Art Museum, Singapore. Szarek's work is in the collection of the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection and the Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia, Italy.
