Waldemar Kolbusz is an Australian visual artist who lives and works in Perth, and has been painting full-time and exhibiting regularly for the past two decades.
With a practice that alternates between abstract and more figurative painting, Kolbusz’s works come naturally charged with a high energy. His large and richly painted canvases pulsate and move, creating an ongoing dialogue with the works. Kolbusz works in a fluid way, often resolving numerous paintings simultaneously, and whilst a significant shift in thinking is required to move between the different genres, his cerebral approach informs and nourishes the work; allowing freedom in the figurative works and giving shape to the abstract.
Kolbusz’ paintings have been commissioned for major projects Australia-wide and collected nationally and internationally. His works are included in corporate collections around the country.
