On the World Art Day, April 15 this year, the opening of Ewa Matras’s painting exhibition took place at the School Gallery of Painting and Graphic Arts of Leon Kruczkowski High School No. 1 in Tychy.
The event attracted art enthusiasts as well as members of the local artistic community, who honored us with their presence. The meeting provided an opportunity not only for personal contact with the artist and her work, but also for conversations about inspirations and interpretations.
The exhibited works were presented in three series: “Land-scapes,” “Stair-ways,” and “Lunar Tales.” Each of these became an inspiration for the students to create their own surprising interpretations — including poetic reflections — which the students of our school shared with the guests. The girls drew attention to the color schemes and forms of the paintings, as well as to the richness of motifs taken from everyday life and the symbolic themes encouraging reflection. The analytical and interpretative presentations were met with enthusiastic reception.
At the end of the event, the pricipal of our school, Joanna Wojtynek, thanked Ewa Matras for her openness and presence in the School Gallery space. Afterwards, the artist herself spoke, clearly moved, expressing her personal gratitude.
The meeting took place in a warm and artistically inspiring atmosphere. We would like to thank Ewa Matras, her loved ones, friends, and all guests for attending in such great numbers and for helping create this unique atmosphere.
The exhibition can be viewed until May 31 at the School Gallery of Painting and Graphic Arts in our school.
