Exhibition of the Emotionalists at Kurier Gallery

The  Emotionalists is the group of like-minded artists whose work in different media reflects human emotions ranging from love and extreme elation to melancholy, anger and sadness. The Emotionalists’ styles vary from pure abstraction to classical realism. The group was founded in 1994 by renowned sculptor, nestor of the Polish School of Industrial Design, and professor emeritus at Bridgeport University, Lubomir Tomaszewski. The group has as its mission the return to the natural language of expression in art and seeks to awaken deep emotions in the viewer.

The group’s members are photographers, painters, illustrators and graphic artists who live in the USA and in Europe. Many of them were born in Poland.

The Emotionalists have had many exhibitions in the USA, Germany, Denmark, France, and Poland.

“We are not interested in having only one common style. In fact, the truth is that we love having diversity in both style and philosophy, as long as the primary purpose of the group is visible in the works. And that purpose is quite simply to find art that resonates naturally and deeply within the viewer, observer or listener. (…) What unites us is our belief in the innate nobility of art. This ideal is difficult to achieve, because how can something so subjective and elusive be empirically defined? Yet how can we, as artists, strive for anything less?”

-Lubomir Tomaszewski

Anna Zatorska is a member of the group. She says,

“I have been with the group since 2009, after I realized that artists are stronger when grouped together. I had met with Lubomir Tomaszewski, the founder of the group,  from time to time to show him what I was working on. Soon, he became my mentor and a friend. The nature has always inspired me, especially trees and landscapes. I depict a magical, unique atmosphere, and show spectators my emotions to evoke the same ones within them.
I am extremely pleased and very sad at the same time that we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the group. The exhibition commemorates the recently deceased Lubomir. The opening of the exhibition will take place on Friday, June 14, 2019. at. 7:pm in the Kurier Gallery (145 Java St., Brooklyn, New York).”
More information available on Lubomir can be found at his website.
