Piotr Gargas is a contemporary stone sculptor based in Oxfordshire. After completing art school in 2001, he developed his practice working with stone through both sculpture and architectural restoration, building a deep understanding of traditional carving techniques and material behaviour.

Working primarily with marble, slate, limestone and granite, Gargas creates sculptures defined by organic movement, contrasting materials and refined monochromatic surfaces. His work often draws on classical references and natural forms, exploring the balance between mass, flow and structural tension within stone.

Alongside traditional carving methods, Gargas incorporates digital 3D processes into the development of his sculptures, combining historical craftsmanship with contemporary tools.

His sculptures have been presented in outdoor exhibitions and are held in private collections internationally, including in the United States, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. The work Hercules, presented in this exhibition, reflects his interest in reinterpreting classical themes through contemporary sculptural form.
