ARTIST STATEMENT

1. Malujeme vlastní fresky. Neopravujeme ty staré.

2. Jedna rozměrná malba, kde se tři rukopisy spojí v jeden.

3. Tvorba je obezřetným dialogem mezi námi, obrazem a prostorem.

4. Plánujeme, ale ne za každou cenu. Omítka rychle schne a my rychle jednáme.

*

1. We paint our own frescos. We don´t restore the old ones.

2. One large painting, where three different art styles merge into one.

3. The artwork is a cautious dialogue between us, the painting and surrounding space.

4. We make plans, but the plaster determines our strokes. As the plaster dries quickly, we act quickly, too.


ANSWERS:

  • We are intrested in using ancient technique of fresco in a contemporary way. Our intention is learning the practical aspects of the technique and interacting with different environments and people/clients. We are intrested in creating art in private or public spaces, more than conventional exhibitions. We want our production to be part of everyday life.
  • We studied old masters in Firenze and we tend to step into every church we meet on our journeys. Our inspiration comes from artworks created through out the centuries until the present days. From frescos of Pompei, through street art, nature, symbolic meanings, modernism to dirty walls. The cooperation of three different personalities with three different ways of thinking causes dissolution of one strong opinion, therefore no specific influence can be seen.
  • Please read the statement above.
  • We react directly to the features of particular space and wishes of client. After careful and focused individual sketching we are discussing and composing the final art piece. The work changes constantly as we have to consider ideas and opinions of all three of us.
  • Our goal is to improve all aspects of the fresco technique and also discovering other related approaches, like sgraffito, maroccan stucco etc. We plan to contact various architect studios and offer cooperation. We woul'd like to create as many realizations as possible, to paint on interesting places for interesting people. Our future dream is to paint fresco in a seaside villa.
