Vladimir Guculak’s works explore randomness as a
principle of order, unravel hidden perspectives and highlight the epics in the
everyday.
Through mixed media and found objects, particularly foraged items, his work reflects ideas of ecology and environmental awareness in minimalist and abstract ways. Vladimir works extensively with collage, photography, embroidery, and printmaking. Most of his works represent natural and cultural contexts and reflect particular physical locations. He is fascinated with picking out certain elements of the landscape and showcasing the natural world's beauty.
Vladimir graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2012 and has lived and worked in London ever since. He has exhibited since 2017 in a number of independent shows and larger mixed exhibitions.
He is a visiting lecturer at Vilnius University, Kingston University, the University of Greenwich, the National School of Landscape Architecture of Versailles and has been teaching at the Bartlett, UCL since 2020.
