Dominik Zarówny




Dominik Zarowny (b.1991, Poland) is an interdisciplinary artist and fashion designer whose work explores the conflicting emotions of desire and control through media such as object-based installations and performance art.  He is known for curating a mise en scene intensifying the performative nature of his projects.
Zarowny’s work depicts the so-called ‘perverse’ nature of human fantasy by fusing fashion aesthetics and erotic paraphernalia. In his works, Zarowny transcends conventional couture in an attempt to question the conventions of societal norms.

Zarowny is a co-founder of the London-based Djago collective focused on curating exhibitions in abandoned spaces and industrial buildings of Tottenham, North London.

He graduated from RMIT in Melbourne with a Master of Fine Arts in 2023. He exhibited locally as well as internationally in galleries and exhibition spaces such as Spazio Futura (Milan), Grow (London), Fin Gallery (Melbourne), and Le18 (Marrakech).

Dominik Zarowny ( b. 1991 ) is a Polish-born artist who explores the interconnected forces of place, power and personality. Zarowny draws on the principles of surrealism to create nightmarish yet energetic interpretations of the characters, dynamics and circumstances he encounters. As a painter, he works primarily with acrylics, oils, and pastels; his frequent use of salvaged materials imbues his art with unique textural qualities and deep connections to place.

His current work focuses on the present and catastrophic decline of the West, and the sense of alienation and dislocation experienced by young people as they witness the fracturing of their own culture, and try to make sense of their place in a fast-changing world.

Zarowny has participated in group and solo exhibitions and workshops as far afield as Marrakech (2017), Milan (2019), London (2017, 2018, 2019) and Sydney (2020). He takes a collaborative approach to his work as an artist, participating in partnerships, projects, and collectives including Djago, Fountayne Collective, and Bad Art.
