The artistic work of Stanisław Brach may be described in a number of ways. One can talk about the form, full of austere expression, or about the space that the Artist takes over by using openwork pattern in his composition. One may mention the artist’s intuition concerning the material, or excellent mastery of the technique. But the works by Stanisław Brach are also a reflection of human fate. It is suffering emanating from the carved figures, resulting from opposing qualities of human nature. The Brach’s man is on the one hand strong, hard as a rock, and on the other fragile and delicate. Surrounded by his loved ones, sometimes even by the crowds – but is he always noticed?
The "Ecce Homo" exhibition is an opportunity to get acquainted with the works of one of the most important contemporary Polish artists. At the same time, the exhibition is launched at the new exposition space of Galeria Lipowa 3.

You are all cordially invited!

Aleksandra Skorek, exhibition curator
