photos from the opening night | photos from the exhibition SHARP-EYE SKILLS PLUS – PROFESSORS AND ASSISTANTS The exhibition from the series "Sharp-Eye Skills," promoting young Polish artists, was initiated in 2011 by the creators of Legnica Satyrykon. The exhibition features works by students and graduates of the three Departments of Graphic Design and Visual Communication at the University of Arts in Poznań: two Poster Departments - led by prof. Eugeniusz Skorwider and prof. Grzegorz Marszałek and Illustration Department led by prof. Mirosław Adamczyk. These projects are referring to the political and social events and related terms such as "Myth of Europe", "Prisoner of Conscience", "Global Crisis", "Multi culti", "Young Energy for Europe?", "A Pole can do it", "More Culture," as well as posters inspired by, among others, films "Sexmission", "Drogówka" (Traffic Police), "Pod mocnym Aniołem" (Under the The Mighty Angel), or the festival "Jazz Jamboree". The exhibition also features book cover designs and illustrations. What may draw the attention of visitors is an extraordinary freedom of interpretation and the unique nature of thinking of the young artists, who present very diverse ways in handling very difficult and complex topics: some surprising, some thought-provoking by their intriguing and often humorous forms. The title "Sharp-Eye Skills" became an inspiration to the design which became the main theme of this year's exhibition. The pencil and the scalpel, by creating an arch resembling a smile, refer in a metaphorical way to the "sharp" response and "cutting edge" comments made by artists reacting to different aspects of the world around us. The poster was designed by Simon Szymankiewicz. The premiere of the exhibition was held in June last year in Legnica in the International Exhibition 'Satyrykon - Legnica 2015'. Now, we can see the same exhibition in Warsaw. A special poster advertising the presentation of 'Sharp-Eye Skills' at the Museum of Caricature was designed by Eugeniusz Skorwider.
