BWA Contemporary Art Gallery in Katowice

The apparent simplicity and casualness of this artist's output can mislead an incidental viewer. Yet, those familiar with the artist are aware how many sketches it took to achieve a shape that he considered satisfying. By means of symbols and painted letters that tended to resemble picture-writing, he created his own graphic system, which he used to convey messages which are comprehensible in every linguistic sphere. Pictures of things and signs which are made to look like letters — this whole pictorial and ideographic system — though lacking in extreme vividness, triggers overwhelming poetic associations. His graphic code does not serve purely informative function; above all, it stimulates imagination and stirs emotions.
The publication contains texts by Zdzisław Schubert and Edmund P. Lewandowski. Included are also a biographical note and bibliography.
