Looking for inspiration and creative work, Alicja Łukasiak and Grzegorz Drozd have decided to set out for an artistic journey through the islands of Indonesia. For this project, the artists are using a car which they transformed so that it has become their home, studio and means of transport. In the next few months they are going to paint, draw, take photographs and make videos, as well as keep a travel journal. Matahari is created by artists who are open to the unknown, who seek to connect with exotic – at least from European perspective – communities, and who are convinced that there is balance between Western and Eastern cultures.
The effect of the artists’ work and experience will be presented at the exhibition at the Biała Gallery, scheduled for December 9, 2016

Yesterday, we witnessed a spectacle created by flashes of lightning from several big clouds, without any rain or thunders though. Today, (...)
When in 2010 a special kind of reality fatigue pervaded Europe, and Poland in particular, we were preparing for our first trip to Asia. The world behind the window, which not long ago was dying of longing for everything that was Western, now got locked into studied poses justified by an unshaken imperative of progress, (...)
