Born in Poland in 1959 and a former student of the Lodz Academy of Fine Arts, Michał Batory is part of the great tradition of avant-garde graphic design among Polish poster artists. After moving to Paris in the late 1980s, he went on to work for the Théâtre national de Chaillot, the Théâtre national de la Colline, IRCAM and Radio France's “Signature” collection. For many years now, Ars Musica music lovers have been able to admire his personal style, as he signs the festival's graphic design and poster. Also, for Urban Nature, the Odradek Gallery presents an exhibition by Michał Batory, focusing mainly on his posters and the record sleeve covers he has created over the years. The graphic line of the visual communication he invented is revealed in all its coherence. Against a bright monochrome background, a body or object stands out, always poetic, between surrealism and abstraction, surprise and sometimes cruelty, off-beatness and misappropriation. The exhibition will also be accompanied by three concerts. Fabian Coomans on piano at the opening, Jean-Louis Marchand on clarinet on November 22, and saxophonist Jan Rzewski will perform in succession in the Odradek gallery, amidst the works of Michał Batory... Like a revelation, definitive, of the innovative relationship between image and music.
