Wszystko to żART (It's all a joke/ART),
or 33 times lucky

December 2017 – January 2018

Exhibition of works by Magdalena Wosik, a valued Polish graphic artist, illustrator and graphic designer, winner of the Satyrykon 2017 Grand Prix. The exhibition presents a series of satirical drawings inspired by current social and political problems. There are also humorous references to everyday life.

This is the 33rd individual presentation of the author's work, as referred to by the title of the exhibition.The Museum of Caricature presents about 40 works from the rich artistic portfolio of the artist. There are both original and original prints of works that have the status of the original, as they are the final version of the work. Hence, at the exhibition we will find examples of works shown in two views – the original drawing and the basis of its final image (author's print). This kind of presentation is intended to illustrate the effects of each of the two stages of creation and the technique used. The first stage is a pen or biro drawing. Second stage  shows the possibilities of the computer and the combination of the hand drawing and the colour.

The exhibition is accompanied by a specially prepared folder with reproductions of artist's works
