2 x Skowron Art Exhibition
October 17 - November 19

Janusz and Arthur Skowron, father and son, were born in Poland and are currently living and working in New York. Janusz studied at the Lublin University, graduating with a master degree in lithography. He has exhibited his art in numerous individual and group exhibitions and curated shows in Poland, France, Germany, and Hungary as well as the United States. His son Arthur studied at New York's High School of Art and Design, graduating as valedictorian of art. He has displayed his work in over a dozen shows. He is currently finishing his studies at Queens College. Both artists are members of the “Emotionalist Art Group”.

…Janusz’s art screams, shouts, whispers feelings and moods of the moment- from anger, pain, and ecstasy to serenity, joy, and intellectual reflection. Each of his work is done in one session; he never goes back to the “mood of moment.” He says,” It wouldn’t be genuine, you cannot feel exact emotions twice.” - Alicja Altenberger, 2003

“… Arthur’s work stands out with daring expression. His sense of color is outstanding, and his drawing technique could easily be the envy of many artists.” - Lubomir Tomaszewski

All events take place at the Foundation House, unless otherwise noted. Programs subject to change. Click here for directions.

Kosciuszko Foundation programs are supported by the Mary F. Koons Charitable Trust, the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), the Tadeusz Solowij Literary Fund, and the KF Cultural Fund.
