A new exhibition, entitled “The Culture of the Poster — Polish Poster Design From Poznan,” will open in town tomorrow afternoon, presenting works of 15 poster designers associated with the Poznan University of the Arts (UAP).

The artists have achieved considerable success in graphic design and many have won national and international awards. Miroslaw Adamczyk, Eugeniusz Skorwider and Grzegorz Marszalek represent the most experienced artists. The group of artists who have already won international accolades includes Marcin Markowski, Max Skorwider, Szymon Szymankiewicz, Michal Tatarkiewicz, Agata Kulczyk and Wojciech Janicki. The youngest, but also award-winning artists in this circle are Grzegorz Mycka, Bartek Mamak, Dominika Czerniak, Bartosz Choryan, Piotr Marzol and Adrian Kurpisz.

They regularly participate in the most recognizable poster exhibitions, contests, festivals, biennials and triennials, such as the Hong Kong International Poster Triennial and the Taiwan International Poster Design Award.

The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to see the specific features of poster design from the capital of the Wielkopolska region. It is a combination of various styles and conceptions. These posters are manifestations of a brief and accurate approach to graphic signs and an excellent sense of relationship between the content and the form. Each exhibit has been already recognized by the juries of prestigious international graphic design competitions.

The exhibition has been organized in cooperation with the UAP and Shenzhen’s International Poster Festival. Poznan and Shenzhen have maintained cooperation in various fields for more than 20 years, primarily in the economically.
