born in of the year 1965 in Poznań, Poland text fragment:art historian: Łucja Seredyszyn – Wojtasik (personal exhibition at the Copper Museum in Legnica) "ELECTROTINTS BY REMIGIUSZ DOBROWOLSKI November 2018 - March 2019 A copper plate can be a matrix for many graphic techniques: copperplate engraving, etching, aquatint. In the mid-20th century, another technique of creating graphics from a copper matrix was created, on which the "drawing" is created thanks to electrolytic etching of the plate. It was called electrotint by its creator Stanisław Rzepa and can be considered a variety of aquatint. The exhibition of Electrotints by Remigiusz Dobrowolski presents the works of an artist from Poznań, where he graduated from the State High School of Fine Arts. In the years 1989-1993 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino in Italy. He is an exhibition specialist by education, a certified painter by education, and above all a restless spirit searching for his own means of expression for the artistic problems that trouble him. The hero of our exhibition, Mr. Remigiusz Dobrowolski, learned the electrotint technique from Roman Artymowski's Manual of Artistic Graphics Methods, published in 1975. He improved it and simplified it a bit. The plates are not hung in a tray. One lies on the bottom, and the other parallel above it, supported on ceramic, glass or plastic supports and immersed only with the face in the electrolyte. He called it horizontal electrotint. The exhibition will also feature the artist's paintings, made using unconventional techniques."
