CASA-COSMOS: HOMEMADE PAINTINGS is an exhibition that sums up the last few years of APT artist Jarosław Fliciński’s artistic practice. It presents paintings, works on paper, and objects. The paintings were created at the far end of the continent, in Esteval, Portugal, where the artist lives and works. As he says, “Paintings need time.” This peripheral corner of Europe is a perfect place to concentrate and work long hours in solitude. The paintings are complemented by objects found in the vicinity of his Portuguese home. Objects are important. The Portuguese commonly believe in animism: personal characteristics and the idea of a soul are attributed to objects. Outside tha gallery, the exhibition is partly located in the space of the city - around the Mausoleum of General Józef Bem and in a display window close to the Market Square, where in the Regional Museum fragments of Jan Styka's The Transylvanian Panorama are kept. The figure of General Bem - his biography and legends - have become a surprising Tarnów context of the exhibition.
