Protected content presents paintings and collages made in Protected content Tomasz Ciecierski, one of the most eminent Polish contemporary painters. Most of the works will have their premiere during this exhibition. Tomasz Ciecierski, who has been associated with the gallery for many years, has repeatedly presented his latest works at this venue. The characteristic of Ciecierski’s art is the creation of painting cycles which make up a kind of “treatise on painting”. His reflections on the art of painting, and above all on the essence of painting as an activity, allow him to constantly review and update this medium. The show of the artist’s most recent works is intended to outline the artist’s current creative pursuits.

As for the subject matter, we will find in the works on display issues that have preoccupied the artist since the Protected content , such as landscape, architecture, or objects from his immediate environment. In the two painting triptychs selected for presentation at the gallery, the author places photographs in the central, narrow, vertical stripe (in one case these are postcards and in the other collage-like assemblages of fragments of internal and external architecture), flanked on the sides by painted canvases. In his signature style, Ciecierski creates paintings of multiple images.
