Summary/Abstract: Peter Sommer wrote a forward to the catalogue, which accompanied the exhibition of Marian Molenda’s work. He wrote, that Moledna ‘speaks his own language’, and that the artist ‘doesn’t pretend’ when he reveals his inner self. The Museum of Art Academy in Wroc³aw, in cooperation with the Opole University, organized a retrospective exhibition of Molenda’s work from a period of twenty years. Molenda concentrates on the human being. He refers to both material and metaphysical aspects of life and the reality. He refers to such themes as the conflict between free and rational will, order and chaos, discursive and intuitional thinking. His ‘Gates’ and ‘Interference’ include the motifs of menhirs and dolmens in their simplified, geometric forms. His sculpture includes stone, metal and wooden elements.
