Polish artist Jerzy GROCHOCKI (1931) is a contemporary representative of systematic painting; his work is akin to the systematic abstract and repetitive concepts of Kenneth NOLAND, Ad REINHARDT and Thomas DOWNING.
GROCHOCKI’s works are based on a four-color system of black, gold, silver and white, where the colors represent tranquility, confinement, separation and tension. His works are characterized by simplicity and elegance, resulting from the unique synthesis of colors and shapes.
The exhibition titled Geometric Generations is an attempt to find parallels and differences between the Polish artist and 6 of his Hungarian contemporaries in the field of geometric art.
