Allen Mack (Lubosław Pirjankow, ur. 2001) absolwent malarstwa na ASP w Warszawie oraz student UAP w Poznaniu. Stypendysta Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego oraz stypendysta Marszałka woj. Wielkopolskiego. W serii Jump eksploruje liminalność skoku – moment zawieszenia między działaniem a decyzją – traktując go jako metaforę malarstwa, jego napięcia i ekspresji. Cykl New Reality podejmuje wątki posthumanizmu, zestawiając organiczność z technologią i badając relacje człowieka i maszyny. W serii Kukeri i House of Demons artysta mierzy się z wewnętrznymi fantomami i archetypami, ukazując ich wpływ na współczesną tożsamość. Jest współzałożycielem kolektywu MZS i Galerii Piec w Poznaniu.

ENG:

Allen Mack (Lubosław Pirjankow, born 2001) is a graduate of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and a student at the University of the Arts in Poznań. He is a scholarship holder of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and of the Marshal of the Greater Poland Voivodeship.
In his Jump series, he explores the liminality of the leap — the moment suspended between action and decision — treating it as a metaphor for painting itself, its tension and expression. The New Reality cycle addresses themes of posthumanism, juxtaposing organicity with technology and examining the relationship between human and machine. In the Kukeri and House of Demons series, the artist confronts internal phantoms and archetypes, revealing their influence on contemporary identity.
He is a co-founder of the MZS collective and the Piec Gallery in Poznań.
