An internationally renown artist, Professor Jerzy Jedrysiak is the recipient of over 24 awards from Poland, India, Spain, Japan, Germany and US and his prints are part of many museum collections worldwide. Professor Jedrysiak's work centers on a metaphor 'Silva rerun' meaning 'The Forest of Things', which dates back to the Roman Empire. It refers to a text made up of various quotations, thoughts, reflections and recollections, which collectively create a view of the world; all that is significant and all that is trivial, matters of great importance as well as private, individual and personal experiences. Jedrysiak's poetic prints portray his world and all that is important, where reality becomes a metaphor and fantasy becomes reality.

Marta Wakula-Mac's inspiration for her linocuts is the creation of the world and celebration of life. Based on the book of Genesis Wakula-Mac's prints are both rich in texture and full of symbolic detail. Her series of linocuts depict spirited dancers who celebrate life and its dynamic energy. She combines thick heavy black lines with splashes of vivid reds to symbolize elation, movement and vitality.
Artists Professor Jerzy Jedrysiak will give a linocut demonstration & Marta Wakula-Mac will give a talk on Thursday 7th May from 3pm - 4pmBooking for the artists talk is essential t: +353 1 6798021 e: gallery@graphicstudiodublin.com

'Na granicy' | Where Borders Meet (Part 1 of 3)

01.09.2008 - 14.09.2008

At the end of 2007 Marta Wakula-Mac, a member of Graphic Studio Dublin and Zdislaw Tohl, the director of Muzeum "Dwory Karwacjanow i Gladyszow" in Gorlice Poland, initiated a project between the museum in Gorlice and 15 members of Graphic Studio Dublin. Polish artist Wakula-Mac then proceeded to liase between the museum and Graphic Studio Dublin, and together we

began to coordinate this exciting project. Where Borders Meet, was developed by Tohl and Wakula-Mac, into a two week residency in the museum in Gorlice. Gorlice is an old industrial town on the Gorale region of Poland, and on the border of the Ukraine, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. As a unique cultural area in Poland this town provides a fantastic area to research ideas and develop areas of study for the 15 artsists involved. The residency will establish dialogue between Graphic Studio Dublin and the museum "Dwory Karwacjanow i Gladyszow, and also

between Irish and Polish artists. The residency comprises three exhibitions. The first, an exhibition of existing work of the 15 participants is to to take place upon arrival in Gorlice in September 2008. The second exhibition, in early Summer 2009, is of work made in response to the two week residency and will also be held in Muzeum "Dwory Karwacjanow i Gladyszow". The third exhibition, a selection of work from the 2009 exhibition, will take place in Graphic Studio Gallery in Dublin in February 2010. more>>
