Andrzej Nożycoręki i Tomcio Malarz

Andrzej Nożycoręki i Tomcio Malarz are two small bronze figures standing side by side, with one equipped with scissors and the other with a paintbrush. They display two different craft professions combined in a single sculpture.

The statue was installed in December 2018 and follows the tradition of dwarf sculptures that emerged in the 1980s as part of the opposition movement. This art form developed into an important symbol of the city.

The figures represent craftsmanship and artistic traditions that have long been part of this neighborhood. Visitors can see how these professions connect to the daily lives of local residents.

The work is located in the Nadodrze district and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors can find it readily by exploring the neighborhood, as such statues are typically placed at notable spots.

This is the only double-character dwarf statue in the district, showing two different craft activities in a single work. The combination makes it a special example of this artistic tradition.
