OBLASTNÍ GALERIE LIBEREC, LIBEREC (CZ)
with Matyáš Maláč and Vít Svoboda
One of the distinct trends in contemporary painting is the ceaseless examination of the object-like qualities of paintings and their relation to the representation of the things depicted. Artists of the younger generation often return in unexpected ways to the legacy of Cubism and the associated initial formulation of this issue in modern painting. Their understanding of figure painting, their work with the mass of a painting and, primarily, their playing with space in the image, have their precursors in Cubism; at the same time, they use quite traditional artistic means to comment on the most current issues in the contemporary perception of the physicality of a human body.
