The exhibition presents works of the eminent Polish graphic artist Lesław Miśkiewicz. After a time of exploration and discovery in the traditional woodcut technique, the artist found himself in the digital world graphics. In his works we can observe interesting stylistic transition from bursting membranes stored in hard wood surfaces to minimalist spaces, clean with different dynamics and rhythm. Form and tradition of black-and-white graphic print has become a potential opportunity for a very erudite, innovative expression of the artist.
