Piotr Kowalski

Piotr Kowalski was an artist, sculptor, and architect. He was born 2 March, 1927, possibly in Lvov, and died 7 January 2004 in Paris. Piotr worked in non-traditional materials including electronic and mechanical devices, neon, large earth works, explosions and other natural phenomena including plant growth and gravity. His work often expressed science or natural laws in direct and tangible ways, immediate to the senses and referring to artistic aesthetics. A refugee of World War II, a graduate of MIT, he immigrated to France as an architect for UNESCO and spent most of the rest of his life in Paris. Along with gallery works, he has several large outdoors projects.
