Exhibition of illustrations from the collection of BWA – Galeria Zamojska
We warmly invite you to visit the Zamość Illustration Centre at ZAK (Zamojskie Centrum Ilustracji, Zamość Academy of Culture). On display is a unique exhibition of illustrations, „The Works of William Shakespeare”, from the collection of BWA – Galeria Zamojska.
The works on show were created during the 30th International Illustrators’ Plein-Air in 2014, a jubilee edition of the event. BWA – Galeria Zamojska organises these plein-airs every year, and they steadily expand and enrich our collection.
The theme marked the 450th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birth, which fell in 2014. The work of the great playwright and poet is so rich and wide-ranging that it opens up a broad field for many interesting artistic interpretations. A dozen or so artists from different centres in Poland and from Ukraine took on the challenge of translating the written word into visual language.
The works on display are by:
Andrzej Heidrich, Joanna Hrk, Mikołaj Kamler, Zbigniew Kołaczek, Halina Kuźnicka, Irena Łakomiec-Kamińska, Franciszek Maśluszczak, Serhij Michnowskij, Zuzanna Orlińska, Wanda and Bogusław Orlińscy, Aleksandra Michalska-Szwagierczak, Jewgienij Piczykiewicz, Jacek and Stanisław Pasieczny, Dariusz Piekut, Marek Antoni Terlecki, Magdalena Żmijowska, Irina Mazurek-Novikova and Magdalena Wosik.
We warmly invite you to visit the exhibition and discover the world of William Shakespeare.
