The metal glory
Oskar Zieta x Thibo Moreels in Frock Gallery, Belgium
Oskar Zięta creates objects of desire. He sculpts with air, and on the steel surfaces, he reflects emotions, sensations, and contexts. Zięta's works duplicate spaces, multiply their meanings, add depth, and reveal their yet undiscovered images. His fascination with materials means that today, as an architect, engineer, process designer, and artist, he creates new potentials at the intersection of technology and art. This summer, the meeting of contexts will take place at the Frock Gallery.

Penetrating meanings
An extraordinary meeting will take place at the Frock Gallery in Belgium. Zięta will juxtapose his metal explorations with the contexts of native artist, Thibo Moreels. In addition to the meeting in space, the dialogue is also direct. The surfaces of the sculptural tribute to new mobility, the Bolid object, will be covered with an engraving designed by Moreels. This will be a true glorification of metal. Extravagant, provocative, and contextually profound. The project is also a reminiscence of Zięta's cooperation with James Jean, whose illustrated lines once found their meanings on metal Bolid objects.

Conquering urban fabric
An event accompanying the exhibition at the Frock Gallery will be an exhibition that truly cosmically penetrates the urban tissue. In the Belgian town of Kortrijk, there will be a kiosk with the mesmerizing Rondo Helix Nebula. This magnetic metal mirror designed by Oskar Zięta is a direct reference to the phenomenon of cosmic colors, which we are discovering more and more deeply thanks to the amazing possibilities of telescopic lenses. We translate the light spectra that reach us using lenses - which, in turn, translate the hues of the cosmos into named colors that we understand. The Helix Nebula directly triumphs over the nebula of the same name in a pop culture known as "Eye of God".
