This is the first full scale publication to celebrate Rafal Olbinski and his exceptional ability to depict the world of performing arts and entertainment in his own unique form. Jazz Posters for European Festivals from the late 1970s to a series of dramatically illustrated designs from the 1980s and 1990s for Opera, Theatre and Circus companies in Europe and America are well represented.
Olbinski's posters dare the viewer to explore beyond the surface and seek out the often overlooked surrounding scene. Their uniqueness lies in his ability to articulate a mysterious allegorical world where the incongruous, paradoxical, imaginary and illogical are reconciled in a most surprising way. He has taken the classical and made it contemporary.
