There is little that can be said about Stasys Eidrigevicius that has not already been written. Stasys, as he is almost universally known, is perhaps the most widely recognized figure in Polish art today. Although Lithuanian by birth and education he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vilnius in 1973, he is claimed by Poland as its own. He has lived and worked in Warsaw since 1980. Noted Polish writer, newspaper editor and decorated patriot Jerzy Turowicz notes that "for Polish art, the Lithuanian Stasys is what the Spaniard Picasso, the Italian Modigliani, or the Russian Jews Chagall, Zadkine and Soutine were for the Paris School."

Stasys is known most widely for his poster art, which has attracted international recognition and numerous awards. His faces masks, really convey a full range of human emotion and predicament, almost exclusively through their ubiquitous button-eyes. Perhaps it is our ability to relate to his figures by looking through these windows to their souls that explains Stasys's international appeal. In his 30 year career, Stasys has had more than 60 solo exhibitions in more than 20 countries. His works hang in the National Museum of Poland in Warsaw, Wroclaw and Poznan, in the Contemporary Art Center in Vilnius, Lithuania, and in numerous other museums in France, Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands, England, Denmark, Japan, the U.S. and several other nations. He is the winner of many prestigious awards and the subject of several retrospectives. He has executed numerous commissioned works and performances in Poland, Japan, France, the US, Lithuania, Italy, Israel and Australia and is the subject of numerous books and films in Polish, English and other languages.
