The Art of the Olympians (AOTO) welcomes Polish Olympian Artist and renowned architect, Wojciech Zablocki to Fort Myers for the opening of his art exhibition.
Families, friends and community members are invited to attend the reception, courtesy of Owen Ames and Kimball, on Friday, August 20th from 5-8 p.m. Zablocki’s Exhibit will be in the Cultural Experience Gallery at the Art of the Olympians Al Oerter Center for Excellence at 1300 Hendry Street. Wojciech Zablocki has traveled from Poland to attend the opening of his exhibition and to give a luncheon lecture to area architects. Guests at the opening reception will enjoy his Olympic stories, gain insight into his architectural design, view his exceptional water color paintings and be inspired. Admission to the reception is free of charge.
The Wojciech Zabłocki Exhibit reflects the many passions of a dedicated and decorated athlete with five World Fencing Championships and the honor of competing in four Olympic Games: 1952 Helsinki, 1956 Melbourne, 1960 Rome, 1964 Tokyo and won two silver (1956, 1960) and one bronze medal (1964) in team sabre fencing. Wojciech is a world renowned architect and he has transferred his creativity into new arenas through watercolor paintings. Many of Wojciech’s works were painted from life settings; all the works reflect on understanding for space.
