Marcin
Bialace
Marcin Białas was
born
in
1977
in
Zawiercie
(Poland).
He
studied
in
the
Faculty
of
Art
at
the Academy
of
Fine
Arts
in
Katowice.
His
diploma
was
obtained
in
the
Intaglio
Printing
Studio of
Professor
Jan
Szmatloch
in
2004,
and
he
was
awarded
a
medal.
After
graduation,
he
joined
the academic
staff
of
the
faculty.
In
2011
he
was
granted
the
title
of
Doctor
of
Arts.
His
primary
interests
are
graphic
arts
(intaglio
technique)
and
drawing.
Since
2003
he
has
been
participating
actively
in
reviews
and
festivals
of
graphics
in
Poland
and
abroad.
Białas had
several
solo
exhibitions
in
Poland
(Katowice,
Warszawa,
Białystok,
Chorzów,
Gliwice,
Żywiec,
Sosnowiec),
Canada
(Trois-Rivierčs),
Romania
(Ploiesti),
Germany
(Berlin),
Ireland
(Dublin),
Belarus
(Minsk),
France
(Paris).
The
graphics
and
drawings
I
create
are
somehow
based
on
the
reality
which
surrounds
me -
they
are
attempts
to
interpret
the
images
of
the
city
and
the
influence
it
had
on
my
knowledge
and
my
awareness
of
the
city's
own
rules.
My
aim
is
not
to
recreate
or
copy
the
modern
world
but
rather
to
create
an
alternative
reality
for
it.
The
world
created
in
my
graphics
is
based
on
the
common
phenomena
such
as
the
structure
of
urban
architecture,
social
infrastructure,
and
the
constant
changes
and
movements
in
the
space
of
urban
landscape.
In
my
artworks,
I
realize
individual
assumption
- a
need
to
show
human
presence
without
figuratively
representing
them.
The
idea
of
human
existence
as
silhouettes,
which
was
often
used
in
earlier
works,
became
reduced
to
images
and
symbols
of
the
city's
establishments,
which
become
anthropomorphized.
The
notion
of
genius
loci
-
the
protective
spirit
of a
city,
is
fundamental
in
my
works.
It
gives
the
space
its
character
and
makes
it
feel
unique.
A
sense
of a
place
is
not
something
tangible,
and
it's
a
specific
atmosphere
of
private
places,
which
is
closed
in
the
apartments
and
houses,
and
public
areas,
where
human
presence
is
essential
for
their
existence.
Finally,
all
the
graphics
I
created
within
the
last
9-10
years
aim
at
finding
my
own
identity
in
the
urban
agglomeration. |

Group
exhibition
The
exhibition
surveys
the
works
of a
group
of
printmakers
from
multiple
countries,
who
are
using
the
same
medium
(printmaking)
to
take
their
work
way
beyond
the
technical
abilities.
Each
artist
has
sent
an
edition
of
33
of
the
same
print
and
will
receive
a
portfolio
including
the
works
of
all
the
participants.
There
will
be
three
remaining
editions
for
exhibition
purposes.
