Art Storehouse in the Lift Gallery   

The Art Storehouse Association was set up in Spring 2006 in Warsaw by artists collaborating with the business named Art-Office, a patron of the Association.
Members of the Art Storehouse represent several generations and come from a variety of communities. They present various artistic stances and are engaged in diverse fields of fine arts, including painting, sculpture, graphics, etc. However, their need to collaborate with and support one another makes them meet and arrange individual and group exhibitions, and, since lately, plein-air events.

This time, we would like to invite you to get to know paintings by Barbara Pszczółkowska-Kasten, Eliza Kopeć, Iwona Stachura, Paweł Jasionowski and Gamid Ybadullayev. A common denominator for these artists' creative output are activities and searches on the border of abstraction and figuration. While the strongest associations with perceptible reality are evoked by Iwona Stachura's paintings with plant-like motifs, landscape references can be seen in Barbara Pszczółkowska-Kasten and Paweł Jasionowski's works, an entirely different field of artistic creation is occupied by Gamid Ybadullayev with his expressive splashes of paint and Eliza Kopeć, who builds orderly and harmonised images out of simple geometric shapes.
