In 1992 he left for Paris as an artistic scholarship holder sponsored by an American fund. There he met Eva Aeppli, a Swiss painter and sculptor, with whom he shared her studio. In Paris he took part in numerous artistic events. He does painting, drawing, computer graphic and sculpture. He is a member of the Association of Polish Pastellists. He designs functional art objects and makes his own wove paper. Since July 2003 he was leading the Regional Cultural Centre in Pcim. He organized the Open Door International Artistic Workshops for youth, artists and the disabled and established the gallery “Galeria na Provincji”. “My painting is the response to my life. I often carry a book of poems by Rilke with his Letter to a young poet. I paint when I am “steaming”, and taking a paintbrush into my hand I am born anew,” says Jerry Treit. His works have been presented in many exhibitions in Poland and France. They are part of private collections worldwide. more Selected exhibitions: 2016 Galeria Kmicic, Zakopane, Poland 2015 Galeria Ratuszowa, Nowy Sącz, Poland 2014 Gallery SD Wilanów / Warsaw, Poland 2014 Vivid Gallery Wrocław, Poland 2014 Gallery Schody Warsaw, Poland 2013 Pogotowie Sztuki, Rabka Zdrój, Poland 2013 Starter Gallery, Neuilly s/Seine, Paris, France 2013 Gallery Maison du Colombier, Cremieu, France 2013 Art Center Fort Sokolnickiego- Warsaw, Poland 2013 Gallery ST Praga, Warsaw, Poland 2012 Espace Cameleon, Paris, France 2012 Gallery BWA Sokół, Nowy Sącz, Poland 2012 BWA Zakopane, Poland 2012 Gallery TAB, Warsaw, Poland 2011 Gallery Zamek, Sucha Beskidzka, Poland 2009 Gallery Stawki, Warszawa, Poland 2009 Salon d`Arte, Bourgoin Failleu, France 2008 Stara Cegielnia, Gallery WM, Myślenice, Poland 2008 Nivolas Vermelle, France 2007 Galerie de L` Impasie, Lyon, France 2007 Gallery of modern art, Myślenice, Poland 2005/2006 Galerie de Elizabeth Couturier, Bourgoin Jallieu, France 2005 Galerie de Four Banal, Cremieu, France 2005 Galerie ARCADE, Bourgoin, Jallieu France 2004 Gallery W Bramie, Lublin, Poland 2003 Gallery of modern art, Myślenice, Poland 2002 Palace of art, Cracow, Poland 2002 Gallery Hotel Elektor, Cracow, Poland 1991 Cracow Philharmony, Poland 1992 EXPO Sevilla, Spain 1992 Gallery 1, Lublin, Poland 1993 Galeria Clair, Paris 1993 Galeria A E, Caubert, France 1994 & 1996 Gallery 1, Lublin, Poland 2000 Center of Contemporary Art Solvay, Cracow, Poland 2001 Salon MBWA, Nowy Sącz, Poland 2002 Gallery of modern art Myślenice, Poland 2002 Gallery Atelier, Cracow, Poland
