All seven of the Polish Academies of Fine Art from the cities of Gdansk, Katowice, Krakow, Lodz, Poznan, Warsaw and Wroclaw, and are represented together with the Schools of Higher Learning in the cities of Lublin and Torun. If you wish to see what has happened during the last decade in Polish printmaking, this is the show to see.
“I welcome the fact that an eminent organization such as The Lalit Kala Akademi is opening its doors to showcase the contemporary Polish masters in printmaking. Wroclaw Fine Arts Academy has made an effort to bring the best examples of Polish artistic mastery to India and I hope that the Poland will also witness an exhibition of the best Printmakers from India in the near future," said H.E. Prof. Piotr Kłodkowski, Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to India.
“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. Christopher Nowicki from the Eugeniusza Gepperta Academy of Fine Art and Design in Wroclaw, Poland. “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”.
