Event created by Guest
Nak. Ed. Art3 is a new show from NaKedArt collective, a diverse and international group which arose from life drawing and painting sessions at Leith School of Art, hosted by sculptor Marcin Krupa. Of the artists exhibiting, some are old hands, others are newcomers. Their work is very varied in both subject and medium.

About The Host:
Marcin is a visual artist from Poland specializing in figurative sculpture, painting and drawing. He started his art education at the age of 15 when he entered the Kenar Artistic High School, Zakopane. There he developed and mastered the techniques of woodcarving, casting, bronze and ceramics. In that period, the young artist took part in various residencies and workshops in Poland and abroad including France and Germany.
After completing his Diploma, Marcin went on to study Art and Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk. He graduated in 2009 with a MA degree in Sculpture. In Gdansk, Marcin acquired the skills and the expertise needed to master human anatomy and drawing. He worked with a wide range of materials: stone, resins, faux stones, plaster and concrete. During the course of his studies the artist created multiple large-scale figures many of which were commissioned to be showcased internationally.
Since moving to Scotland in 2012 Marcin has continued to expand his artistic repertoire. In Edinburgh he underwent a 6 months long course of drawing at The Academy of Realist Art. From 2014 to the present day Marcin has run untutored life drawing classes at Leith School of Art where he also works as a tutor support technician on the LSA Figure Course. He runs Figure Drawing workshops for various art organisations. From 2019 he has started working as a Gallery Curator at St Margaret’s House. In his artwork Marcin shows great admiration to the human body, its shapes, colours and variety of forms. This focus on the human body in his art also provides analysis of human sexuality and desires.
