On October 26, 2024, Stara Drukarnia in Łódź was filled with the magic of art. That evening was the opening of the exhibition Hieroglyphic Monads by Piotr Piad Podsiadły — an artist who combines tradition with modernity, technique with sensuality and geometry with emotion in his works.
Piotr Karol Podsiadły, also known as Piad (born 16 March 1997 in Opoczno) is a Polish interdisciplinary artist. In the years 2016-2022 he studied graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, specializing in multimedia. In 2022, he earned a Master of Arts degree and won the Viva! Photo Awards. In his work, Piad explores the relationship between old and new media, nature and the absolute, and man and the universe. A key role is played by the motive of the handwriting. Although he uses modern technologies, his works always maintain an organic, close-to reality character, rooted in traditional art media.
Instead of telling stories, Piad creates situations that the viewer can interpret through the prism of his own experiences, combining technique with sensuality and geometry with desire. In his art, the awesomeness comes to the fore.
Piotr Podsiadly's work is a real dialogue between man and the universe. His works reveal the relationship between the spiritual and the material, inspiring viewers to reflect more deeply. Hieroglyphic Monads It's not just images — is an invitation to discover the meanings that lie somewhere in between.
Anyone who visited Stara Drukarnia that evening could feel the unique atmosphere of these works. Traditional symbols, modern forms, depth of emotion — all this filled the space, creating an experience that lasts a long time in memory.
The vernissage was more than just an artistic event. Hieroglyphic Monads is an award given by the Stara Drukarnia as part of the competition Rejvach, which took place during the festival Ravekjavik. This is where young artists can count on support in promoting their art.
Stara Drukarnia is not only a place for offices or conference rooms. It is a space that is full of life, creativity and art. Łódź is a city with a soul, and Stara Drukarnia fits perfectly into this atmosphere, becoming an intimate meeting place for business people, artists and all those who appreciate a unique atmosphere.
Many people appeared at the opening — friends and family of the artist, art lovers and boatmen interested in new experiences. It was an evening full of conversations, emotions and inspirations that were in the air. It was possible not only to admire the works of Piotr Podsiadly, but also to talk personally with the artist, who was happy to share his thoughts on art and the world.
Stara Drukarnia is a space where art permeates every corner. The walls of this place breathe history, but at the same time pulsate with modernity. Here, modern offices, where innovations are born, meet artistic creativity — from murals
for temporary exhibitions.
This unique combination makes Stara Drukarnia stand out from other places. For us, art is something we want share, which is why all exhibitions, vernissages and artistic events are available free of charge.
If you did not manage to be at the vernissage, nothing lost! Exhibit Hieroglyphic Monads is available in Stara Drukarnia until December 31, 2024. This is the perfect opportunity to discover the art of Piotr Podsiadły in an intimate atmosphere and get inspired.
