Unlike the U.S. and French scenes, in Poland, there&#8217;s no strict divide between mainstream and authorial comics. In fact, every Polish comics artist creates independent publications, which means they have artistic freedom to experiment with both text and images.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the invitation of the Polish Institute Brussels during this year\u2019s edition of BD Comic Strip Festival in Brussels, you will have the opportunity to meet two extraordinary Polish comic artists \u2013<strong> Przemys\u0142aw &#8222;Trust&#8221; Tru\u015bci\u0144ski <\/strong>and<strong> Wojciech Stefaniec<\/strong>.

Considered one of the most eminent Polish comics artists, in the \u201890s of the 20th century Trust co-originated the Association of Artists \u2018Contur\u2019 as well as co-organised first comic cons and festivals in Poland. As an artist, Tru\u015bci\u0144ski is mostly interested in creating unreal worlds. What his works have in common are surreal, oneiric, and fantasy themes.  \\n\\\"Andzia\\\" - Andzia is a modern rebel, a brave girl who is curious about the world, and has her own opinion. She\u2019s really herself and doesn't act how grown-ups expect. She\u2019s not afraid of adventure and often gets into trouble because she does things she's not supposed to. The illustration in the comic book make everything look like a fairy tale, taking us into a dreamy world where anything can happen, and the only limits are what we can imagine. Recently, the comic book \\\"Andzia\\\" was published in French by the publishing house \\\"Editions de la Cerise\\\". \\n \\n \\n[gallery columns=\\\"4\\\" size=\\\"medium\\\" ids=\\\"12236,12235,12234,12233\\\"]\\nThe exhibition will also present illustrations from \\\"The Witcher\\\".

As an artist, Tru\u015bci\u0144ski is mostly interested in creating unreal worlds. What his works have in common are surreal, oneiric, and fantasy themes.  \n\"Andzia\" - Andzia is a modern rebel, a brave girl who is curious about the world, and has her own opinion. She\u2019s really herself and doesn't act how grown-ups expect. She\u2019s not afraid of adventure and often gets into trouble because she does things she's not supposed to. The illustration in the comic book make everything look like a fairy tale, taking us into a dreamy world where anything can happen, and the only limits are what we can imagine. Recently, the comic book \"Andzia\" was published in French by the publishing house \"Editions de la Cerise\". \n \n \n[gallery columns=\"4\" size=\"medium\" ids=\"12236,12235,12234,12233\"]\nThe exhibition will also present illustrations from \"The Witcher\".
