The disturbing universe of Jan Manski's art conjures visionary                        
worlds through multi-disciplinary projects, which are 
inextricably linked by an exploration of mankind’s most 
elemental fascinations. Manski applies a combination of
humour, the macabre and skilful production in his ambitious
series referencing modern culture, mythology and history.

Jan Manski’s meticulous and total attention to detail has borne 
two distinct environments to date. Work on ONANIA and
POSSESIA began in 2010. Where ONANIA springs from an
anaesthetic collection of diseased but perfectly preserved
consumerist specimens of a definite allure, POSSESIA proposes
the lingering damage of the ravaged twentieth century.

EUGENICA, the third part of Manski’s trilogy, will be presented 
in 2014 in parallel with ONANIA and POSSESIA. A similarly 
immersive and disrupted universe, EUGENICA will examine
man’s capacity to extinguish himself and his neighbour
through extreme interpretations of Darwinian selection.

Jan Manksi's inaugural solo show with BREESE LITTLE was
staged at the Rochelle School in April-May 2012, showcasing
ONANIA.

A selection of sculptures and collages from POSESSIA  has 
been shown at BREESE LITTLE (27th February – 30th March
2013) in Manski, Cohen, de Freston in preparation for an
extensive solo show in October 2013.
