Thus wrote Wojciech Wilczyk about the art of Grzegorz Wr\u00f3blewski:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the painter-Wr\u00f3blewski, the natural point of departure (which is by all means natural for the 1960\u2019s generation), apart from the aforementioned COBRA, is the American abstract expressionism and Informalism. It is a kind of a fundamental visual dictionary, which widens in the course of time and creation of new works. Wr\u00f3blewski paints in spurts, each portion of the created works being characteristically different. Thus, one can observe, for example temporary fascinations with abstract art in a more surreal mode, minimal art, matter painting or land art. It is also worth noticing that the author of \u201cPlanets\u201d has a wide knowledge of contemporary art, which he also manifests in his poems and essays. This actually differentiates him from the native literary staff with high culture ambitions, whose allusions to visual arts usually boil down to Vermeer and stick to the sugary \u201cGirl with a Pearl Earring\u201d. This erudition does not however classify his painting as the art of quotations. Indeed, in his early works there are echoes of the art of Pierre Aleschinsky, Roberto Matta, Antonio T\u00e0pies or Robert Smithson. Nevertheless, in the half of the first decade of the current century, Wr\u00f3blewski works out a style which is distinguished by calligraphic elements along with the game of abstract expressionist amorphous structures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A NORTHERN TRAIL is not only the title of the exhibition. The same title has been given to one of the paintings presented as part of the exhibition, as well as a poem from the collection entitled Rooms and Gardens<\/em> (2005).\u00a0<\/p>\n

A NORTHERN TRAIL<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

1.<\/p>\n

Love is but a delusion. Nature keeps making us realize it.<\/p>\n

The skeleton of a smallish mammal. Why did it have to<\/p>\n

Be you? (It must have been a pretty specimen once.) I know<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t like stuffed animals. Vulpes? The trees are thinning.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

2.<\/p>\n

Yet love it is? You have to nourish it to survive.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not going to leave me here all alone, are you?<\/p>\n

Have you heard foxes have vertical pupils? Eyes are an abyss<\/p>\n

Of greatness and pettiness. (Always so self-assured\u2026)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

3.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not talking about survival, but loneliness.<\/p>\n

He was the weaker specimen so he was eliminated.<\/p>\n

Is this still love, though? Would you also make love to me<\/p>\n

If things were otherwise? Oh, come on, get a grip.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

4.<\/p>\n

Your holistic view on the whole is unsuitable here.<\/p>\n

And do cover this ugly skeleton with earth.<\/p>\n

Guests: LIPI&PAULUS. Neo Poetry Electric.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those who are aware of the cultural fabric of the city of Gdansk, will surely be familiar with names like Pawe\u0142 \u201cPaulus\u201d Mazur and Tomasz \u201cLipi\u201d Lipski. Not uncommon in circles of art-rebels, the gentlemen founded a duet to unify music and words. However, both their music and lyrics are unique. They are both poets of a different sort, but\u00a0 – there is no doubt about it – they have two common denominators (or grounds) \u2013 imagination and freedom. Those two gentlemen will present their poems in turns \u2013 improvising and provoking. But be aware of the fact, that they will also make use of their own music. Paulus will take care of the electronics, and Lipi \u2013 drums. Marysia will play the flute.\u00a0<\/p>\n
