Painting 2021
Twenty finalists, from which three winners will emerge in the autumn, have been carefully selected by the jury.
Viera Kraicová – Paintings 1962 – 1994
The exhibition presents the artist´s painting experiments hovering on the border of abstraction and figuration, her spontaneous gestural paintings, imaginative figurative works and returns to colour patch as a crucial means of expression and intermediary of emotional expression. There are also represented classical genres like still life or portrait as well as records of the artist´s spontaneous painting that, in a way, always followed the contours of a figural basis.
Renata & Marek Ormandík – Ravens, Busts and Flowers
The present exhibition is a result of common life, existence, efforts and creativity of Renata and Marek: painting, crocheting, drawing, knitting, thinking, inspiring one another.
