Exhibition "MIRACLE HONEY ULTRAMARINE" by Cyryl Zakrzewski

I cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition

„"Miracle, Honey, Ultramarine" is a monographic survey of Cyryl Zakrzewski's recent works. Each of the sculptural forms presented in the exhibition is made of wood and symbolically marked with plastic, a human imprint on the natural raw material. Just as civilization does in nature, elements of synthetic ultramarine permeate the structure of natural wood.

The exhibition's title, "The Miracle of Honey Ultramarine," suggests a symbolic shift. For centuries, ultramarine was a pigment reserved for the sacred, synonymous with divinity and humility. As a mineral pigment, it was originally obtained from the precious stone lapis lazuli, which Venetian merchants began importing to Europe in the 14th century. In the early 19th century, the possibility of synthetically producing ultramarine was discovered, and it has become one of the most popular coloring agents today.

The exhibition is a dialogue between old craftsmanship and a contemporary approach to design, which is reflected in the seven functional sculptures presented.

The official opening of the exhibition will take place on November 16 at 6:00 p.m.

We organize curatorial tours after prior email contact (info@nowymodel.org).

The exhibition was realized as part of a creative scholarship from the budget of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage.

Cyryl Zakrzewski – born 1986, a graduate of the Faculty of Sculpture and Spatial Actions at the University of Arts in Poznań. He has participated in numerous exhibitions in Poland and abroad. He has created permanent installations in public spaces, including in his hometown of Poznań (Adam Mickiewicz University Botanical Garden, Strzeszyn "Visual Park," and abroad in Tokyo – Fukudenkai and Ptuj, Slovenia). He has received awards and distinctions for his artistic achievements, including a scholarship from the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. He is a member of the NÓW. Nowe Rzemiosło association. He has participated in exhibitions in Poland and abroad, both in art galleries and at design fairs (including the Milan Furniture Fair, ICFF New York).

Our goal is to popularize the achievements of important figures in Polish design, with an emphasis on the role of outstanding people from Greater Poland.

With each passing year, Polish design becomes more recognizable and appreciated internationally,
Poland is the second-largest furniture exporter in Europe. The history of Polish design is defined by the works of outstanding artists whose designs have achieved the status of design icons and, above all, have become everyday objects in thousands of Polish homes.

Success of the SPOT THE DESIGN workshop!

Beautiful things happened at the workshops held during the SEE DESIGN exhibition!


Both the younger and older ones created individual visions, which were then placed on lamp models created by nowymodel.org
Each participant had the opportunity to become a designer! They created a lampshade structure, which they then decorated according to their own ideas and skills.

Thank you for the creative power you put into every moment of our meeting together! ✨
It was a wonderful and very educational experience.
