Contemporary Polish Prints
A&D Gallery
Kyung Hee University Seoul, South Korea
2 September
THE LARGEST exhibition of contemporary Polish prints ever assembled began its second showing at the A&D Gallery of the Kyung Hee University in Seoul, South Korea on September 2, 2011. The opening was attended by the Polish Ambassador to South Korea, Krzysztof Ignacy Majka, Vice President of Kyung Hee University, College of Art and Design, Prof. Yun Woo Seob, and the Head of the Department of Fine Art, Guy Hyun Kim plus many faculty and students.
The exhibition first opened in Tianjin, China on October 20, 2010 at the Museum Gallery of the Tianjin Academy of Fine Art. The exhibition consists of almost 300 prints by 102 of Poland’s leading printmakers. All fine art techniques are represented with an abundance of traditional methods such as mezzotint, stone lithography, linocut and etching plus modern methods of digital and computer generated imagery. The artists are notably the best in Poland and have submitted their most recent works.
Printmaking professor Christopher Nowicki from the Eugeniusza Gepperta Academy of Fine Art and Design in Wroclaw, Poland is Curator of the exhibition with Vice-Rector Piotr Kielan as Head of Organization. “It is an exhibition which took two years from conception to realization. All seven of the Polish Academies of Fine Art are represented plus the Schools of Higher Learning in the cities of Torun and Lublin. If you want to see what is happening right now in Polish printmaking this is the show to see.”
“Poland has a long, distinguished tradition in printmaking. Printmaking in Asia also enjoys a long tradition and is exceptional. I think we have a lot in common and can both benefit technically and philosophically with more contact,” says Prof. Nowicki. “As curator of this exhibition my hope is to exhibit these works in as many places as possible bringing the printmaking disciplines of East and West together to promote cultural understanding and respect. As of this moment we are seeking additional venues, I hope this will travel and include other countries so as many people as possible may benefit from this contact. “
The Tianjin Academy of Fine Art is a co-organizer of the exhibition with Polish sponsorship coming from the Adam Mickiewicz Institute in Warsaw and the Polish Minister of Culture.
Professor Christopher Nowicki has lived in Wroclaw, Poland for eighteen years and teaches printmaking at the Eugenusza Gepperta Academy of Fine Art in Wroclaw. He is a mezzotint artist and has curated exhibitions of Polish Printmaking in Scotland, USA, Romania and Greece. During the summer he works with Native Americans in Haines, Alaska helping them realized traditional Native designs in limited edition serigraphs.
