Biography
Michael Staniak (b. 1982, Melbourne) is an Australian artist who creates large scale, abstract artworks. His hypnotic & textured surfaces act as a portal to another world, one where we inhabit both physical and virtual spheres. His work reflects on the issues this archival existence can bring: gentle undulations shimmer enticingly, like the implied tactility of a touchscreen.
Staniak studied digital media communications in the United States and, discovering an artistic & academic verve, went on to study for a BFA, followed by an MFA at the University of Melbourne’s Victorian College of the Arts (graduating in 2011).
Previously, Staniak’s work formed part of Unit London’s 2018 group exhibition Looking For U which showcased eight outstanding artists’ explorations of art in the digital age. Staniak’s solo shows include Anytime Anywhere and Solid State at Steve Turner in Los Angeles; New Surface at NKN in Melbourne; IMG_ at Contemporary Art Museum in St Louis; and Permanent Display at the Annarumma Gallery in Naples.
