Great art on the small post of Poczta Polska: Mural Prombry
Poczta Polska introduced a unique stamp presenting street art. This is not only an attempt to familiarize this dynamic form of artistic expression, but also an opportunity to present one of the most interesting works of Polish street art - work entitled "Attractor" by Krzysztof "Proembron" Syrucia.
The work "Attractor" was created as part of the Traffic Design festival in Gdynia. The word "attractor" comes from Latin (Attrahere - attract) and is a term from the theory of chaos, describing the state of the dynamic system seeking to a specific point, curve or fractal. Fractals are characterized by a complicated, self -like structure, visible in nature and form the basis for many scientific research in such fields as biology, physics, astronomy or economics.
Prombion is known for creating painting illusions of abstract spaces based on mathematics, color and generative graphics. It combines geometric elements, biomorphism and biomimic. His works were presented at many international exhibitions, and his unique style has evolved from American letter graffiti into abstract forms, referred to as graffuturism.
Polish creators of Street Art are recognized and valued on the world stage. The history of this genre of art in Poland, despite the English -language name, is not a simple reflection of Western cultural currents. His roots reach a propaganda fight against the occupier during World War II, when artists and citizens used symbols, slogans and graffiti as a form of resistance against the Nazi occupier. These were simple, unambiguous messages that were designed to raise morale and unite society in battle.
In the 1970s, neoawangard artistic movements developed. Artists such as Jerzy Bereś, Edward Krasiński or Andrzej Partum experimented with form, often engaging in activities going beyond traditional art galleries. They used urban spaces as their canvas, creating both political and critical works towards the then system.
In the 1980s, libertarian graffiti became an important element of Polish street art. At a time when Poland was under communist rule, the artists used graffiti as a form of resistance. The famous inscriptions, such as "Solidarity" and anti -communist slogans, appeared on the walls of the city, expressing social dissatisfaction and the desire to change.
At the beginning of the 21st century, thanks to the dissemination of the Internet, Street Art in Poland gained a new dimension and became available to a wider audience. Artists began to use global trends and communication tools, which contributed to the development of this form of art.
The emission of the stamp by Poczta Polska is a promotion of street art and a form of appreciating contemporary means of artistic expression, which decorate our cities and inspire residents. The work of Prombryon perfectly reflects the spirit of modern art, combining elements of mathematics, colors and innovative graphics. This is a great example of how street art can find its place even on such a small area as the postage stamp.
The project of this issue was created in cooperation with Marcin Rutkiewicz, president of the Outdoor Art Foundation, an outstanding expert on Street Art in Poland, author of numerous publications on this subject and a curator of many exhibitions.
