The Kosciuszko Foundation is pleased to present The Real Within: A New Generation of Polish Realism, a group exhibition showcasing the work of eight contemporary Polish painters. Marking the centennial of the Foundation鈥檚 activities, the exhibition pays homage to Poland鈥檚 artistic heritage while highlighting a new generation of artists whose work exemplifies the strength and vibrancy of Polish realism today.

While distinct in style and approach, these contemporary works reflect the enduring tradition of Polish realism, long recognized for its technical mastery and deep emotional resonance. Presented alongside the Foundation鈥檚 permanent collection鈥攈ome to masterpieces by 19th-century Polish luminaries鈥攖hese paintings affirm realism鈥檚 continued evolution and relevance in contemporary art.

The Real Within explores how a new generation of artists engages with realist figuration, expanding its emotional and mystical possibilities while refining techniques of image-making. These artists approach pictorialism with imagination and precision, producing figures, portraits, landscapes, and still lifes that are neither Photorealism nor an extension of Surrealism. Their interpretations of realism are free from nostalgia, offering instead a fresh, immediate perspective鈥攐ne that resonates powerfully in today鈥檚 world.
