Julian Fałat Bench

The Julian Fałat Bench in Bystra is a 1:1 scale bronze sculpture showing the painter seated, in a hat, with a palette and a brush. It stands in front of the “Promyk” Municipal Cultural Centre at ul. Fałata 2 and was unveiled on 23 September 2017.

How it came about

Julian Fałat lived and worked in Bystra in 1909-1929. The bench was made by the sculptor Sławomir Micek as part of the EU project “Usiądź z Fałatem na ławce” (Sit on a bench with Fałat), carried out with the “Ziemia Bielska” Local Action Group. You can sit next to the painter and take a souvenir photo.
