Walnut tabletop inlaid with intricate Turing-inspired patterns with subtle glow-in-the-dark epoxy resin. The legs are cast in bronze with a finely ridged, layered texture evoking natural formations, offering a sculptural contrast to the refined walnut surface.
About the artist
Now based in Cape Town, Trzebinski draws from his Kenyan upbringing, a childhood steeped in the rawness of Indian Ocean rock pools, volcanic landscapes, and a deep spiritual connection to the natural world. His work traces a journey from the personal to the planetary and from intimate explorations of grief and memory to speculative futures shaped by climate anxiety, transformation, and childhood wonder.
Initially known for his figurative bronzes, Trzebinski’s earlier works centred on the human body as a vessel entwined and at one with nature. In recent years, a decisive shift has occurred: the body has dissolved, supplanted by alien organisms, Turing patterns, and otherworldly structures. In Solastalgia (2022), he imagines a post-Anthropocene world rebuilding itself in the aftermath of environmental collapse, while in Exogenesis (2024), his focus turns outward — to the possibility of life seeded from the stars, and the mirrored architectures of the microscopic and cosmic.
