Recent Works by the Emotionalist Art Group
The Emotionalist Art Group is not defined as a group of
New York artists, or a group of Polish-American artists, or
even – a group of artists scattered across America and
Europe? No, this group is not based on geographic location.
The Emotionalists are from many different backgrounds and
what keeps them together is a certain view of art: a shared
characteristic understanding of what it is to create art and
to be an artist in the modern world. They also embody unity
among artists, a family that provides emotional support to
its members.
When founded in 1994 the group was called „ In Tune
With Nature”. After four years the name „Emotionalists” was
adopted. The creator of this artistic manifestation, whose
purpose and meaning are stated in the group’s name,
is Lubomir Tomaszewski.
Under the auspices of the Chopin & Friends Festival,
the Shtooka Gallery will present the latest work of the Emotionalist
Art Group. The group will present art in a wide variety of
mediums, created by its many members and exploring the theme
of human emotion.
“Man is an inextricable part of his environment.
There is no visible separation of nature, man, and art.
I attempt in my work to fuse all three together in quiet
harmony. I wish to create a piece of art that can be lived
every day, but that continues to evoke new emotions from
the viewer.” - Lubomir Tomaszewski.

views on art.” By Ewa Bobrowska-Jakubowska).
