The first Moscow personal exhibition. Gzhegozh Piotrovsky «Erotica life». November 9-23, 2010.

The first Moscow personal exhibition. Gzhegozh Piotrovsky «Erotica life» Open on November, 9th in the gallery "SOVCOM " (8 p.m.), Moscow, Shepkina str., 28 At the exhibition « Erotica life » which opens on November, 9th in the gallery "Sovkom ", domestic connoisseurs of art will be able to see for the first time more than 30 works of the Polish artist Gzhegozh Piotrovsky. There will be mainly his works of the last three years. Beside the acrylic compositions with obviously expressed abstract-erotic "accent" (they can be named Piotrovsky's "card"), there will be oil landscape sketches, as well as ceramic plates – though unusual for a modern author, he takes a great interest in handmade-sculptural work – ceramics (clay and enamel). We all know the contemporary Russian art-space (though, you would not deny, that it is basically limited to the artists of Moscow and St.Petersburg). Some might be familiar with the work of the Ukrainian art-leaders – the neighbours often participate in our exhibitions and fairs, sometimes even form the most fashionable trends. But a little more distant Poland – as far as fine arts are concerned- is « tabula rasa » for us. And now we can get acquainted with the works of one on the most gifted representatives of the Polish contemporary art space Gzhegozh Piotrovsky. This young artist – he is only 34 – was born near the city of Gozhuv Velikopolsky. Here he had his first exhibitions, as an individual and within the Salons of Youth Art, as well as Autumn Salons carried out by BWA (the Bureau of Art exhibitions). Now the artist lives near to the acknowledged art center of Poland – the city of Krakow. More than once he had his personal exhibitions in the Warsaw galleries. This year Piotrovsky's works appeared in Russia, in Moscow, for the first time, and at once aroused much interest among the Russian collectors. The name of the first Moscow personal exhibition of the artist « Erotica life » and its basic subjects come quite natural to « the constant experimentalist », « the skilful creative adventurer » Piotrovsky. His manner is often compared to the expressive methods of such time and space-distant artists, as Egon Schiele and Francis Bacon. «His creative work is a constant search. Piotrovsky makes unexpected turns and variations within the limits of the unique subject – a female body”, – the Polish art-critics write about the artist. All the works presented at the exposition « Erotica life »belong to the new period of creative work. He has a lot to tell and to share with the spectator on the basis of the experience already acquired. Piotrovsky's own, absolutely recognized style, his own genre, his own line is being gradually developed . To create a picture with one line - such striving to minimalism –is one of components of the creative credo of the artist in future, as seen by Gzhegozh Piotrovsky.
