Doing my Kemistry Homework
Since forming in 2003, Warsaw-based studio Homework has been creating posters for cultural events. Aware of Poland’s renowned legacy in poster design but with no intentions to be part of it, the work they create nods to the simple visual puns of Mieczysław Wasilewski and the playful illustrative style of Witkor Gorka. However, rather than exist in homage to their predecessors, Joanna Górska and Jerzy Skakun have created a distinctive style that has seen them garner prizes at poster biennials across the world as well as gallery exhibitions in Paris and Berlin.
Homework’s exhibition at Kemistry Gallery marks their first in the UK. The gallery proudly present a selection of over fifty of their prints including classic cinema and modern Polish theatre posters, with a selection available for purchase from the gallery and online at www.kemistrygallery.co.uk
