In the very heart of Łódź, in the extremely atmospheric Stara Drukarnia office building at 130 Gdańska Street, a unique artistic event took place — the opening of Jonasz Koperkiewicz's exhibition “Existence”. This industrial space, located just a few steps from Piotrkowska Street, uniquely combines the spirit of the city with the artistic atmosphere, creating a place where culture and business intertwine.
Jonasz Koperkiewicz is a recognized graduate of the Władysław Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. In 2014, he defended his master's degree in silkscreen printing with honors, and in 2020 he received the title of Doctor of Art. His artistic path is constantly evolving and currently focuses on abstract painting.
For Koperkiewicz, art is a medium that allows us to explore the nature of reality. His works are dominated by intense colors and bold forms that prompt reflection on transience and a deeper sense of existence. The artist himself talks about his work:
Writing about one's own work is quite a difficult task, and that is because it is what it is, for specific reasons. From this world I try with dirty hands to pluck some truth, hidden behind the fluttering veil of past feelings.
Koperkiewicz's works are a journey into consciousness, a kind of artistic experiment that combines intuition, emotions and philosophical thoughts.
On 29 August at 19:00 the interiors of Stara Drukarnia were filled with a unique atmosphere. The industrial space of the building perfectly fit into the atmosphere of Koperkiewicz's abstract works, becoming for them a unique background, which is so important for the exhibition.
The event brought together numerous guests — both art enthusiasts and people who first came into contact with the artist's works. Of course, Jonasz Koperkiewicz himself was present at the opening, sharing his inspirations and the philosophy behind his work.
The vernissage was not only an opportunity to admire the paintings, but also to talk about art, inspirations and challenges that the artist poses. The audience had a unique opportunity to see how color and form become tools to tell about deep emotions and reflections on life.
Stara Drukarnia is not only an office building, but also a unique place on the map of Łódź, where art and culture permeate everyday life. Located in the very center of the city, just off Piotrkowska Street, it offers its guests a unique atmosphere.
The exhibitions organized in the Stara Drukarnia are temporary events that surprise every time. Their common denominator is that they are completely free — because we believe that art should be accessible to everyone.
For love of art, for passion for business — this slogan guides the activities of Stara Drukarnia, which consistently opens its doors to artists and the local community.
Although the exhibition “Existenie” has come to an end, Stara Drukarnia is constantly organizing further events that engage and inspire. Each of them is an opportunity to break away from everyday life for a while and immerse yourself in the world of art.
