Słowacki (after the war also in Katowice theaters), participated in numerous exhibitions, he also presented his works at individual shows (m.i.n 1946, 1948, 1960). Hrynkowski's artistic legacy is numerous and varied, yes, in terms of the painting and graphic techniques used, as well as in terms of the subject. The paintings present a wealth of ideas and the freedom of artistic solutions, combining a realistic view of the world with formal interests. The most interesting are landscapes and still lifes, in which, after his Formist experiences, the artist's peculiar colorism and his individual painting style came to the fore. The composition of these works is subordinated to color systems, the landscapes are dominated by a bright yellow-green range, in still lifes, color combinations are richer, saturated, often contrasting.
