The pictures above show Zachęta’s Great Hall during the exhibition “Polish Painting of the 21st Century” by Leon Tarasewicz. Zachęta — National Gallery of Art is a place that combines modernity with history. We are the oldest gallery to display contemporary art in Warsaw, dating back to 1860. Zachęta’s mission is to popularize and promote contemporary art. We display solo, group and thematic exhibitions that present the audience with the latest phenomena of note both in Polish and international art.

The Paint Chip Series Shawn Huckins

In today’s abundant American culture, any material thing we could possibly ever want or need is at our fingertips. Fast food chains, convenience stores, super markets, gas stations, and department stores are ubiquitous. While the products and services we use, the clothes we wear, and the food we consume may be uniform and standardized, I find pure, simplistic beauty and exceptional intimacy in the common object and our everyday environment.

The Paint Chip Series explores color choice and its meaning in our daily lives. Mimicking the exact proportions, font, layout, and hues of miniature paint cards found at a nation-wide home improvement store, bands of color we may choose for our most intimate spaces—bedrooms, kitchens, family rooms—are an ideal stage to examine the everyday people and objects that occupy our world.
