    Krystyna Wojtyna-Drouet. I Cease to Exist for Myself

    The solo presentation of Krystyna Wojtyna-Drouet's works is the result of the artist’s long-standing, deeply intuitive relationship with material and craft. The exhibition brings together tapestry textiles, sketches, dyeing recipes and archival materials, revealing the processual nature of her practice, grounded in attentive observation and improvisation. A key point of reference within the exhibition is Uliczka (1962) — a work that marked a breakthrough both in the artist’s career and in the history of the Polish school of textile art.
