Mieczyslaw Gorowski (1941-2011)

    These posters stimulate people to think, to look for hidden content. People are looking at them and ... they become co-creators. Because the poster is not clear, you have to devote a little time to its interpretation. I, an artist, have made my part, and now the viewer, someone who is obviously not a passive spectator has to activate him/herself intellectually and emotionally to be able to properly read the poster. The viewer has his thoughts on this, on what he/she looks at, and fortunately this is the way it goes.
