The Krasnals, Whielki Krasnal "Saint John Paul II". 27.04.2014. Oil on canvas. 45 x 40 cm |
The blog of the anonymous group of artists The Krasnals established in 2008. As culture provocators we track hypocrisy and mechanisms of rules in the field of art. We miss authenticity of art which is strongly involved in contemporary power spectacle. We demand the right for art freedom and its democracy in all spheres, also in economic. We track also crucial dependences of art, culture, economy, politics and are fragile to all of their unfair tricks.

"Battle of Grunwald / Ship of Fools"
The Krasnals "Battle of Grunwald / Ship of Fools". 2012. Oil on canvas. 430 x 990 cm |
"The Battle of Grunwald/Ship of Fools’ is no more than an artistic work of fiction. The picture is a light and accessible creation, portraying the events and characters of contemporary Polish history, in an international context. They are little more than cartoons with a sense of humor in the genre of ‘South Park’. The concept of ‘Polish Civil War’ should be taken with a pinch of salt."

We received the art monthly Arteon 2013 Award for this painting.
However it provoked big controversy and protest from the All-Poland Committee Against Sects And Violence. Now the case is in Polish court.
