About her work, design critic Ellen Lupton wrote 聯[...] Although the decline of the Polish poster under capitalism has been widely mourned, Joanna G贸rska and Jerzy Skakun are bringing the medium back to life, and updating it for the twenty-first century. [...] Thus, while reviving the poster tradition, these designers are also wedding an art-based medium to the contemporary practice of graphic design.聰
