PIOTR KROCHMALSKI. WORKS ON PAPER
Friday, September 15, starting at 17.00:XNUMX p.m., at the Museum of the History of Transylvania opens a series of artistic events initiated by WIT Szkoła Wyższa pod auspicjami PAN [WIT University under the auspices of the Polish Academy of Sciences] and curated by Prof. Dr. Habil. Vlad Țoca and Dr. Ioana Gruiță, MNIT specialist in art history.
The exhibitions will be open to the public between September 15 and 29, 2023.
The first of them is 𝙴𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚎𝚜𝚎: Works on paper.
Explaining the motivations for his actions, Piotr Krochmalski expresses his disbelief in the permanence of the material. He knows about the paintings on Egyptian papyrus that have survived, but he does not want to believe that paper can also last for centuries.
Spontaneous and disinterested creativity certainly reveals the character of the artist in the highest degree and gives him a leading place among those skilled in hand, eye, heart and mind. Piotr Krochmalski is one of those rare Polish expressions of surrealism, but at the same time reveals an exceptional sensitivity to color. He is an excellent painter, with an equally excellent drawing. And what if it's on paper! As long as it's good at anything.
