Grzegorz Myćka at Satyrykon Gallery
When on 20th February 2016 I found out that the international jury chaired by Mr. Gabriel Kołat, after having seen 2519 works by 741 authors from 58 countries from around the world, decided to award Grzegorz Myćka the 1st Prize – a gold medal in category “Evil”, it sent shivers up and down my spine.
