Piotr Szwabe

Lech Wałęsa

Description

Pilotów 17d is one of the most important addresses of opposition-era Gdańsk — it was here that Lech Wałęsa lived with his family. When Wałęsa returned from internment, a crowd of several thousand gathered on Pilotów Street. The mural was created exactly on the 25th anniversary of his Nobel Peace Prize award. It is an enlarged-to-wall-size photograph of Wałęsa from his internment period. Viewed up close, it is ambiguous and not immediately clear; from a distance, it becomes an unmistakable image of the Solidarity leader. The work became a harbinger of the return of large-format painting to Zaspa District.
