Urban Spree Galerie presents "Bastards 2010-2024", a solo exhibition by the Polish poster designer and artist Paweł Ryżko.
The Opening will take place on Saturday, March 15th, 2025 in presence of the artist + we'll be hosting a special book release and signature.
In Polish, “Bastards” (bękarty) is a term commonly used for posters designed and produced by artists despite having not been commissioned, therefore created purely out of artistic necessity.
Inscribed in a long tradition of Polish graphic design and posters, the Exhibition "Bastards 2010-2024" presents for the first time in Berlin a selection of 24 posters designed by
@ryzko and other additional graphic elements. This presentation is complimented by the Release of Paweł Ryżko’s monograph "Posters 2010–2024", showcasing 80 of the artist’s poster works.
Born in 1984 in Warsaw’, Ryżko is an artist renowned for his poster design, mural art, and painting. A graduate of the Władysław Strzemiński Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, he completed his MA diploma in poster design under the supervision of Prof. Sławomir Iwański in 2011. In his works, compositions of flat colors and geometric shapes take on unexpected symbolic meanings, often blurring the lines between abstraction and figurativeness, drawing from avant-garde design traditions and urban arts.
The exhibition has been created in Warsaw at
@bd_gallery_ in December 2024 and is now available for the German public to discover. Our gratitude goes to
@cezary_hunkiewicz without whom this exhibition would not have been possible.
