About the Artist
Jan Cylwik is a London based artist who uses the medium of photography to shine a light on cultural ghosts. Finding their origins as figures on coins or public statues, he developed unique photographic processes to alter how they are perceived. Such figures evoke feelings of nostalgia, nationalism, religious faith and contribute to our identity and we conduct our lives.
He was awarded an MA in Photographic Art with distinction from University of Westminster in 2017. He also holds an MSc. in Electron Microscopy from University of London.
His work has been shown in group exhibitions:
