Metamorphosis #5

Buffalo, New York


BIBLIOGRAPHY


METAMORPHOSIS: 168-page hardcover book. Metamorphosis is the second published monograph by the Californian-born, Berlin-based visual artist Tavar Zawacki - and the first under his real name.

Metamorphosis covers Tavar Zawacki's last 3 years of creative works, from his seminal 2014 Remix exhibition in Detroit at Inner State Gallery to his latest and most ambitious exhibition to date at Urban Spree Galerie in September 2017. Metamorphosis covers many of his large-scale outdoor murals during that period and illustrates how the artist navigates between his indoor and outdoor works and the influences thereof.

Metamorphosis is a very personal account of Tavar's creative process and thinking, where painful disruptions are essential to creating something new and meaningful.

The book is published by Urban Spree Books, Berlin Germany, in September 2017.


PASSPORT: 156-page hardcover book documenting the artworks and travels of Tavar Zawacki in over 50 countries from 2004 to 2010.

Zero+ Publishing,  Los Angeles, California. 2011

Artist Shepard Fairey wrote the introduction for Passport.
