Culture.pl and Agata "Endo" Nowicka presents 100 of the most recognised names and rising stars in Polish illustration at Ilustracja PL 2012
As Poland's top illustrator and cartoonist, owner of the Illo agency and co-curator of the Ilustracja PL 2012 showcase, Endo is the most active player on the scene, promoting this genre of contemporary art across Poland and abroad.
This year's event came under the theme O-kupować - play on the words okupować (occupy) and kupować (to buy) as the second edition of a week-long event devoted to young talents in Polish illustration. Many of the works provided a contemporary commentary on the global economic crisis and protest movements, while others simply reveled in fresh techniques of drawing and graphic design. Curated by Anna Zimecka (SAR), Agata Endo Nowicka and Maria Zaleska (ILLO) and Przemek Trust Truściński, Ilustracja.pl presented the works of over 100 artists.
Ilustracja.pl 2012 took place at the SoHo Factory space in Warsaw between the 17th-27th of May 2012. For a full list of artists in the exhibition, see: www.facebook.com/IlustracjaPL
