Take Vision, Determination, Passion, and Craftsmanship. Add to it curiosity about the world and out-of-the-box thinking. Serve hot, preferably with a pinch of Obsession to finish it off.
If you have an appetite for such a snack, you simply must visit the Artists and Collectors’ Alley! This year – it is a meal consisting of two courses:
Here we do not differentiate between capital “A” art and regular art. No. Here, we dissect art into elements.
One thousand, two thousand … hmmm, or maybe thirteen thousand?” Well, what then?”
And then we put them back together again to create one beautiful whole. Sometimes it is done to feel the satisfaction that follows success, other times to take your mind off everyday life.
Sometimes to spend time with friends or family, and sometimes one on one with the challenge.
Putting together an image from a jigsaw puzzle sheds a whole new light on the perception of a given work. What escapes us when we view a canvas in a museum or on a screen, here strikes with double the force. We begin to focus on the details.
The distinctive transitions of color, light and shadow become closer, gaining meaning, and each element of the composition seems crucial.
Join us as we look at jigsaw puzzles with graphics by young, talented artists, but also internationally acclaimed works, such as those by Zdzisław Beksiński, Jacek Yerka, Luis Royo or Boris Vallejo a little differently.
Of course, fans of The Witcher, Pratchett, Disney, the Star Wars universe, Harry Potter or other cult film and gaming productions will also find something to marvel at.
“Fantastic collections, not necessarily fantasy-themed”
It is said that one object of a kind is a reflection of interests, two form a pair, and three – a collection.
Another definition claims that: Collecting is accrument- the conscious accumulation of objects of an established substantive, topographical or chronological scope for the purpose of creating collections, exhibitions and displays….
…blah, blah, blah, blah, blah….
We know that often collections are created when manifesting our passions. And since true passion knows no boundaries….
…we’re back to our roots. Once again, the Artists and Collectors’ Alley opens its alleyways to people, who collect or create treasures of all kinds, and treat every object with respect and veneration equal to sacred artifacts.
We encourage you to introduce Pyrkon attendees to your, not necessarily fantasy-themed passions, which have contributed to your fantastic collections.
Fill out the application form, which you can find here – we look forward to seeing you at Artists and Collectors’ Alley 2025, curious to see what you will have to show us!
