Od 28. února do 6. března 2022 probíhá mezinárodní výstava F**K U 2022 International Contemporary Art Exhibition pod záštitou M.A.D.S. Art Gallery. Součástí je i můj obraz „Setkání s Níké, nebo dlouhodobou dehydratací vyvolaná halucinace?“ a samozřejmě spousta dalších děl od umělců ze všech koutů světa.
Výstava probíhá v Itálii a na Kanárských ostrovech, zároveň ale nabízí virtuální exhibici pomocí technologií pracujícíh s rozšířenou realitou. Výstavu tak můžete virtuálně navštívit i vy na tomto odkaze.
Děkuji za to, že můžu být součástí, a také umělecké kurátorce Ilarii Falchetti za odbornou recenzi mého díla.
Mikoláš is a talented young artist who works in both painting and sculpture. His passion for both disciplines is evident in his works. In them, the plasticity of the figures and the imposing masses are clearly evident. The artist places the human figure at the centre of his art, inserting it in a landscape context where nature reigns supreme and where man is the master of his own destiny and cannot dominate it, but can only learn to live with it by exploiting everything nature has to offer. The end result is a mix of different artistic influences rooted in the historical period from 1800 to the beginning of 1990. The influence of the pre-avant-garde and innovative movements that developed as a result of these studies is evident. The landscape also plays a fundamental role, the setting is studied, both in the colours and in the arrangement of the elements. Mikoláš creates dreamy atmospheres, almost surreal because of the silence and stillness they express and almost dreamlike because of the chromatic tones he chooses to use. His art has no limits, it breaks the boundaries of imagination merging with reality. In his work „Nike“ his artistic skills, both expressive and communicative, are evident. Aesthetics and the study of art history have influenced the artistic process Mikoláš develops. The colours are contrasting and bright, the brushstrokes fluid and soft. The pigments are almost unreal because of how saturated they are. In a desert made up of geometric mountains and a sinuous sea, the light is almost unreal, magical. A man observes, almost in wonder, the rock in front of him taking the form of the beautiful Nike of Samothrace. Is it a hallucination? A dream? A game of his mind? Who can say. It is left to the viewer to decide. The human figure has no identifying features, which is why it represents a universal concept. The man enraptured by the beauty of art could be any one of us. Mikoláš’s taste for sculpture is evident both in the quotation of Nike and in the masses with which he creates the landscape, which through a play of light give three-dimensionality and volume. Elements taken from Romanticism, such as the choice of a small human subject in contrast to the grandeur of the surrounding nature, and elements taken from Surrealism, such as the theme and the choice of colours, are mixed with a revisited and modernised symbolism. Mikoláš finds in art the possibility of expressing himself by revealing his inner world to the viewer. His artworks are fascinating and mblematic and encourage the viewer to immerse themselves in the dreamy atmospheres he draws. In art, whatever you can imagine becomes tangible and the artist demonstrates this.
