Discovering street art in Tychy

Like in many big cities, all the subways under the city alleys have long become impromtu art galleries filled by graffitis of different presentation level.

We discovered these outstanding graffiti we saw on the way to Urbaniwice Cathedral in the subway leading from Main Street in Urbanowice to Cathedral Street. Please name them yourself and try to read the inscriptions there.

A small exhibition in the lobby of Hotel Tychy.


We have not seen many murals on city's buildings. The biggest (and the most famous) one is at 14 Filaretow Street.
It is dedicated to the outstanding local bard Rysiek Riedel (1956-1994), who lived and worked in Tychy and was buried in this city.
The inscription above the image of the singer was taken from his sings. It reads, "It is always worth being a human."

The mural is a tribute to Polonia Tychy - an amateur club, whose players were mostly residents of old districts of the city and of the Estate A. The club included soccer players, volleyball players, cyclists and light athletics amateur sportsmen. The Polonists gained recognition of fans with talent and ambition. In the sixties, the amateur soccer team was able to draw in friendly matches with the Polish soccer champion Górnik Zabrze or wit the champion of the German Democratic Republic Wismut AUE.
Pawel Ryżko created this mural in 2017, when the 60th anniversary of the foundation of Polonia Sports Club was celebrated. The artist himself commented on the phenomenon of Polonia Sports Club, “Polonia Tychy was created in the time, when sport was not yet a machine for earning huge amounts of money. It was about the joy of the game, common experiences, time and integration. Sport was an opportunity to break the barriers.“ The mural contains the club motto, “Zacieśnia braterskie więzi” – “Strengthening the brotherly bonds”.

Many graffitis are devoted to the local soccer team GKS.
