Press|Dialogue between Images and Words in Street Art: From Decoration to Igor Dobrowolski’s Internal Monologue

The sunset rays shine on the pitch-black wings of a flying bird and make its feathers gleam like sliver. This is a familiar imagery in the artworks by Igor Dobrowolski, a young street artist from Poland. Interestingly enough, a picture similar to that was being portrayed in just eight Chinese characters, “倉庚于飛,熠燿其羽” (cāng gēng yú fēi , yì yào qí yǔ), found in the Book of Songs, the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry dating from the 11th to 7th centuries BC.
