“The visual language of Pavel Příkaský’s work is a multifaceted play with human corporeality, kept in the spirit of posthumanist tendencies. In the motif of fauna and flora, the artist seeks to blur the boundaries between biological life and mythical beings and the symbolism associated with them. The delicate painterly gesture, executed with sparse, diluted paint, oscillates between the […]

“Tomas’s individuality shapes painting as a medium that transcends the canvas, realizing the idea of so-called ‘extended paintings.’ Predka’s works combine fragmentation with the installation-like presence of images; in her exhibitions, she often employs a site-specific approach. She uses monumental canvases and smaller forms that interpenetrate, creating layered compositions of images within images. The harmonious selection of color and […]

“For years, Konrad Krzyżanowski has been collecting images stored on disks and film reels, on Polaroid photos, and in his phone’s memory; and when he starts painting, memories come flooding back. Moments are reflected on the canvas: someone walks away, someone looks, someone takes melatonin before bed, someone runs, someone reads a book. Someone lies in bed, unable to fall asleep, images spinning […]

Ubiquitous allergies are not only a hindrance to the immune system; for me they are above all a metaphor—a disturbing symptom of the distance between a person and their environment, which this disease forces. In this distance, there may also lie its source. As one of civilization’s diseases, they evoke reflections that go beyond a simple medical dependency. I translate this situation into the realm […]

“For me, walking, or wandering, is a source of inspiration and insight, as well as a subject in itself. I treat the city and the movement within it as a situation akin to the realities of the human psyche. An interior, a room, a bend, a hill, a river, an intersection—any urban or topographic structure—can have its reference, for example, in an attempt to imagine an emotional state. Leaving and entering a state […]

„Systematic breaks – fluidity suspended and chaotic, calm is not meditative but more like the silence before a storm. Tension is a constant element of the images, carefully masked by colorful, floral compositions. The mystification is nevertheless impermanent, torn, unstable, giving rise to uncontrolled decay. Illusion dissipates, revealing rot – the queer performance is only a performance. Otherness and oddity […]
