The exhibition "Martwe z natury - odsłona 2/2" by prof. Ryszard Czernow can be seen from March 25 to April 29 in the Galeria Główna in BWA in Kielce.

In his work, the artist pays special attention to contemporary vanitas symbolism, describing the surrounding world of animate and inanimate matter. Ryszard Czernow describes his works with the term cybergraphy, because as a result of a number of modifications they have lost the features of classical photography. Artistic projects are presented in the form of large-format photorealistic prints and in the form of sonovisual compositions in which sound - next to the image - is an equal means of expression.

"Martwe z natury" is one of the three exhibitions presented at BWA as part of the 1st Festival of Photography FOTOPERYFERIE. The festival is organized by the Kielce Landscape School Foundation and the BWA in Kielce. The curator of the festival is Stanisława Zacharko-Łagowska.
