ZBK is a pseudonim of a Polish painter and urban activist. Not a crime organisation, just a kid growing up, it the big bad world, try to give his , maybe not so important opinion. Some people build bridges, other rob money, “Im using paint to do the best thing that i can, on paper, canvas or your dad..s house. Hey, ok im a kid but, like somone said, “once you grow up, your heart dies...”



Zbiok is a Polish painter with full tank of comic imagination. With the naive exuberance of old-schools graffiti his work is also reminiscent of a modern-day Ferdinand Leger, drawing on the language of comic and graphic art with a little constructivist surrealizm thrown in. With overlapping layers of coloured shapes, figures and graphic symbols of modern life, his paintings are full of energy, humour and irreverence.
