This exhibition showcases over 20 sculptures by Piotr Ożerski, reflecting his fascination with sport and capturing fleeting moments of athletes' effort and concentration. The works span various periods of the artist's creative output, drawing from his own athletic background.
The Museum of Sport and Tourism hosted the opening of the exhibition 'Piotr Ożerski – Rzeźba Sportowa' on September 30, 2013. The exhibition features more than 20 sculptures that capture ephemeral moments of athletic exertion and concentration, drawing from diverse periods of the artist's career. These works are a testament to Ożerski's deep connection with sports, stemming from his own active participation in disciplines such as swimming, gymnastics, and wrestling.
The opening event was marked by a warm, family atmosphere, with Mikołaj Ożerski, the artist's grandson, performing guitar pieces, including one composed for the occasion. Aleksandra Czechowicz Woźniak, Deputy Director, welcomed the guests and, along with the exhibition commissioner Dr. Iwona Grys, presented Piotr Ożerski with a medal commemorating the museum's 60th anniversary. Ożerski then shared insights into the presented sculptures and the preparations for the exhibition. The event was attended by notable guests, including members of the Museum Council and the Polish Olympic Committee, as well as family and friends of the artist.
