The Alberta Society of Artists is proud to present the solo exhibition High-Low featuring the work of Alberta artist Slavek Pytraczyk.

The artist states “My current research process involves photographing architecture showcasing themes of decay and abandonment. These neglected spaces often seen as "eyesores" are prevalent in my current body of work where I attempt to call attention to what many consider "insignificant."

The documented photographs are then used to make collages often through the photo transfer process where I manually transfer the pigments from the prints onto another surface. The process is often unpredictable lending itself to chance formal characteristics within each work. Combining these images with more imaginative formal elements is another theme that can be found within my work.”
