Igor Mitoraj (born 1944) is a Polish artist born in Oederan, Germany.
Mitoraj's sculptural style is heavily rooted in the classical tradition with its focus on the well modelled torso.

Igor Mitoraj, born in 1944 in Germany from a French father and a Polish mother.
Mitoraj has a well recognizable style: his modern reinterpretation of ancient sculpture, Greek and Egyptian in particular, allows to insert his works without difficulties in an urban environment.
Mitoraj deliberately leaves many of his bodies maimed, often even acephalous, as if they were archeological excavations, thus creating a certain distance of time.

 MEGA - Firenze
The "Gods and Heroes" exhibition by famous sculptor Igor Mitoraj has been organized by the Cassa di Risparmio of Florence to mark the 170th anniversary of its foundation, in collaboration with the Board of Environmental and Architectural Assets and the Board of Archeology.
The Boboli Gardens are not simply an extraordinary, magical and suggestive setting of art and nature for the exhibition, but also complement Mitoraj's work which, throughout the exhibition, encourages visitors to explore the paths and lovely corners of the gardens and discover all the mythological suggestions linked to natural elements that can be found there.
Today the sculture of Mitoraj (born at Oederan in Poland in 1944), is to be found in many of the most important public and private collections of contemporary art.

 Mitoraj in Venice From Venice Tourist Board: official website.
For many of the subjects, the artist necessarily draws on the classic repertory, except for his uninhibited and conciliatory incursions into the Egypt of the Pharaohs or into the Buddhist Orient ('...I have sought to collect a fragment of that which seems to be the mystic communion between Egypt, Greece and the far East..').
Mitoraj assuredly does not scruple to harness a varied array of heroes from other times and places: the artist himself helps us to identify Eros, Tyndareus, Aegeus, Icarus and Hadrian; but how are we to recognise the swathed busts with no faces, the blindfolded heads or the sculptural fragments?
It has been noted how in Mitoraj the poetics of the fragment 'constitute an aestthetic paradox: the beauty of perfectionagainst that of the destruction worked by time...allusion to a past perfection of impressive size 'which suggests'...the futility of the aspirations of the human mortal' (J.Putnam).

 The Boboli Gardens Presents Antonio Manzi | Art Knowledge News
For many contemporary artists, the challenge of tackling such a strongly historicized territorial context as the Boboli Gardens, so complex and modeled since its sixteenth-century origin, and of bringing it to dialogue with the present, has represented a strong attraction.
An irresistible temptation which, in these past years, has involved artists like Igor Mitoraj, Kan Yasuda, Hossein Golba, Sandro Chia, Dario Bartolini and now, Antonio Manzi.
The attraction this old garden exerts on sculptors derives from its ability to adapt and host various art forms through their numerous mutations over the centuries.
