Vladimir Guculak’s work explores the interplay between randomness and order, uncovering hidden perspectives and celebrating the extraordinary within the everyday. Using mixed media and found objects, particularly foraged materials, his minimalist and abstract creations reflect themes of ecology and environmental awareness. Working across collage, photography, embroidery, and printmaking, Vladimir’s art connects deeply with natural and cultural contexts, often inspired by specific landscapes and their intrinsic 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.
