The vernissage and meeting with the artist Jakub Ciężki, a curator tour by Paulina Olszewska and a dinner with members of the Association for the Encouragement of Fine Arts – this is how we started the autumn artistic season and the first day of the Association’s stay in Lublin. “The Triumph of Abstraction”, Jakub Ciężki’s exhibition and the first point of our programme in Lublin, presents the artist’s pictures which seem to confirm that the abstract painting tradition is a constant source of inspiration and reinterpretation. It is also a personal manifestation for the artist, informing about the end of his earlier painting search and the beginning of a completely new chapter in his artistic work.
