STATE OF BALANCE | Exhibition of prints by Karol Lewalski at Atelier Gallery in Burgas

The works of Karol Lewalski reflect the harmony achieved through the art of printmaking, in which linocut is not just a technique, but a way of expressing emotions, thoughts and contemplation in search of a state of balance. The collection presents a variety of prints created in the last decade, which are indicative not only of the artist's creativity, but also of the achievements of the Polish graphic art school and, in particular, of its tradition in the field of linocut. In the era of digital technologies, looking at one of the classical methods of engraving and interpreting it through the worldview of a contemporary artist enriches the idea of ​​the diversity of possible means of expression and their synthesis in fine and applied graphics. Both the artist and the viewers who encounter his works have the opportunity to "immerse" themselves in this state of balance through art that invites us to stop and take a breath.
