The first meeting of the artists who share a specific attitude towards
the reality, took place in Galeria Bielska BWA in Bielsko-Biała,
June-July 2008. The Bydgoszcz exhibition is organised by: Municipal
Gallery bwa and the Association of Polish Artists, Bydgoszcz area.
They met each other in 2007, at a creative meeting in Ciążeń. Their
friendship grew through email correspondence; analysing each other’s
work, they found out certain coincidence, closeness of comprehension,
discovering and portraying the reality. Simple form, realism, a pinch of
grotesque are the ingredients that determine the way of their conceptual
art. They create because they want and have to, beyond fashion and
commercialism. In June and July 2008, they were guests of Galeria
Bielska BWA in Bielsko-Biała. This was their first artistic “meeting”.
