Wyrostek i Zadymek, Dwarf statue at Plac Solny 11, Stare Miasto, Wrocław, Poland.

Wyrostek and Zadymek are bronze statues located at Plac Solny that depict two working characters: a taller figure and a smaller one with a pipe. The figures stand near the marketplace and form part of the dwarf collection in the Old Town.

These figures were installed in 2021 and continue a tradition that started in the 1980s with the Orange Alternative movement. The movement used art objects to express social messages and quietly transform the city.

The statues portray two different characters representing working people, part of a tradition of honoring everyday figures in the city. These bronze figures tell stories of trades and crafts that have shaped life in Wrocław over time.

The statues are freely accessible and located in a lively spot in the Old Town that is easy to find. Many visitors explore them as part of a self-guided walk through Wroclaw's various dwarf statues.

Each dwarf figure in the city represents a specific profession or activity, creating an artistic project that recognizes trades and everyday work. This focus on particular occupations turns each figure into a small story about Wroclaw's crafts and labor.
