The opening of an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Ryszard Jethon will take place on Friday, September 13, at the Michał Twerd Gallery (II Liceum Ogólnokształcące in Bolesławiec, Dolne Młyny Street). It begins at 6:00 p.m..
Ryszard Jethon (born in 1943 in Austria). A graduate of the Faculty of Architecture at Wrocław University of Technology. He has long been associated with Bolesławiec (he worked at the Bolesławiec Construction Company, served as the county architect and was director of the Voivodeship Office for Spatial Planning). Together with his colleagues, he developed Bolesławiec’s spatial development plan and supervised its implementation.
After an overseas contract—due to the martial law then in force in Poland—he remained abroad, in Germany. He worked there as an architect and urban planner. He is now retired.
Alongside his professional work, he continued his artistic pursuits, using various painting techniques; his favorites are oil on canvas, charcoal drawing and watercolor. In his paintings, he strives to capture the expression of light and line.
He has presented his works at several exhibitions in Darmstadt, Hattersheim and Bad Soden am Taunus. He took part twice in the nationwide plein-air painting workshop for teachers in Przytok.
