Artist：Peter Baran

Concrete is the most used human-made material in the world, which makes it the perfect material to capture the human-made world.  
In my view, there is no other material comparable to the scale of usage in the modern world and its impact on us humans, we build our world from it. I like to call our period the Concrete Age.

My fascination with working in concrete comes from a desire to disrupt its stereotype. It’s typically seen as unpolished, dirty, and heavy. My process is indeed physical and visceral, but the results are the opposite: clean, precise, and detailed. I treat concrete like marble, polishing it to a fine finish - creating a deliberate mismatch between expectation and reality.
The creative process behind my sculptures reflects two key perspectives I hold about this material.

Firstly, I see concrete as monumental, widely used, and irreplaceable - a medium through which I express ideas of equal weight. These are concepts ingrained in our modern history, shaped by the masses, and reflective of human progress.

Secondly, I see concrete as a utilitarian, rough building material, which I use for its original purpose - as a building material for sculptures rooted in architectural forms.

REGULAR CONCRETE is my art project focused on creating sculptures exclusively from this material.
