Grafika pionowa. Fragment kolorowego obrazu w stylu minimalistycznym, geometrycznym. Większość kadru zajmuje ciemnoróżowe pole, stół, na którym w centralnej części widzimy od góry coś na kształt białej szklanki i okrągłej niebieskiej popielniczki z papierosem. Z lewego dolnego rogu wystaje żółta geometryczna jakby dłoń trzymająca biało-brązową fajkę. Górne narożniki są zielone, dolne są czerwone.

This is the artist’s first exhibition in his hometown. It will present older works oscillating around the Suprematism of Kazimir Malevich as well as his latest paintings, in which he conducts a dialogue with classical iconography in a neoplastic approach. The title of the exhibition refers to a quite common iconographic motif, the pipe. It was present in Baroque vanitas still lifes, later as a kind of attribute of artistic bohemia, up to philosophical considerations in the paintings of Rene Magritte or the post-artistic activities of Marcel Duchamp.
