A guided tour of the exhibition will take place with artist Gisela Šabóková and curator Petr Nový.
Gizela Šabóková is constantly on the move. Despite being an established, internationally recognised artist, her artistic growth and curiosity remain unbounded. The core aesthetic of her works remains, as always, contrasts between surfaces and depths, between light and shade, between economical gestures and an emphasis on detail, as well as an evolving sense of storytelling, formats and technical approaches. The same applies for the key theme of figures. The results invoke someone who has swam around the world, visited every continent on Earth, but still continues to look for whether some unexplored corner remains to be found. Because Šabóková typically works alone in crafting her materials, such physical contact, too, serves as a source of inspiration.
