Art and Heritage in Central Europe<\/h1>

Jerzy Nowosielski’s art is a unique synthesis of his fascination with Byzantine art, especially iconography, with the spirit of the avant-garde. The artist, associated with the Second Cracow Group and Tadeusz Kantor, developed his own individual style, drawing formally from surrealism and abstractionism, while at the level of meanings referring primarily to the universal human yearning for metaphysics. In his figurative representations, the recurring motif was most often the female body. All these ways of seeing, reproducing, and commenting on the world also ran through the works of other artists who, like him, experienced the trauma of World War II, as well as those born later. The exhibition, organised on the 100th anniversary of the artist’s birth, is an attempt to place his work in the broader context of Polish art of the second half of the 20th century and invite viewers to the common act of seeing, and thus creating.<\/p>\n
