Description
Illustration for Słońce pod sufitem by Grzegorz Rosiński, created in 1972 for a publication by Marek Płużański. The work depicts the power plant built by Thomas Edison in New York in 1882, shown as a detailed industrial interior with large-scale machinery and networks of cables.
The drawing demonstrates Rosiński’s early graphic style, combining precise, realistic rendering with a structured approach to space and composition. The illustration reflects his interest in light, architectural order, and visual narration, elements that would later become central to his work in comics, including Thorgal.
The piece documents an early stage in the artist’s career, when book illustration began to function as an independent visual interpretation of the text rather than a purely descriptive accompaniment.
