About the exhibition: 

The exhibition presents works created by eight acknowledged illustrators related to Wrocław, who has been recognized for their colorful (even if black and white at times) pieces both in Poland and abroad, winning numerous important competitions, exhibiting their work in many cultural centers, both big and small. However, the most important characteristic that ties them together is the fact that all of them are creating and illustrating original (art)books. The presentation in mia ART GALLERY consists of illustrations which has been chosen by their authors themselves, derived from one of their books. The sequences of pictures allow the viewers to reconstruct interesting, already existing stories, as well as to created new, intriguing narratives on their basis. Who knows, maybe someday those new stories will also fin their very own illustrators?
