Collection: Błażej Marczak

THE ARTIST

Błażej Marczak is a documentary photographer currently focused on subjects in
flux—urban landscapes that may soon change or disappear. He values the
archival qualities of the medium, employing a unembellished approach that
conveys the character of a place. His practice avoids stylistic devices that
decontextualise or artificially evoke nostalgia and is informed by the subject
matter itself, as well as by his wide-ranging interests and personal experiences.

Born in central Poland and raised during the socio-economic and political
transformations of the 1980s and 1990s, Marczak moved to the UK in 2005,
spending time in England before relocating to Scotland, where he graduated
with a BA in Professional Photography from the University of Abertay Dundee in
2012. He has exhibited across the UK and internationally. In 2016, he moved to
Canada, and since 2022, he has been represented by Wall Space Gallery in
Ottawa. His work is held in private and institutional collections, including the City
of Ottawa Art Collection, and has been published widely.
