Marcela Vichrová – I’ve Gone to Visit the Butcher

For Marcela Vichrová, a basic and dominant element in the painting is the line. More than merely delineating surfaces or defining contours, the line possesses power, tension and an almost haptic quality. In the alternation of bright colours, her curves repeat and return, one following another. The structures that emerge resemble embroidery, layers of quartz in agate, print matrices or maps. Every trace is its own, and even if it deviates slightly, it does not lose its fixed connection to the whole, which in the end tends to more closely resemble a unique variation on symbolic representation than an actual animal, human being or object.

Dalibor Chatrný 100

Dalibor Chatrný 100

Dalibor Chatrný (1925–2012) is one of the most important Czech artists of the second half of the 20th century and is undoubtedly the most significant creative personality of his generation in Brno. For Chatrný, art was a tool for understanding the world, just like philosophy and science. He drew on his observations of natural processes and sought to connect science with art. His work was always experimental, and he constantly came up with new concepts and materials, with the process itself being of primary importance to Chatrný. The exhibition at GASK focuses on one area of his wide range of experimental approaches, which is connected with the creative principles of seepage and perforation.

Alena Kučerová 90

Alena Kučerová (*1935) has been one of the most prominent figures in Czech art since the early 1960s. She has received numerous awards for her work, most recently the Ministry of Culture Award for her contribution to the visual arts in 2023. She brought experimentation and innovation to the field of graphic art in particular. She used structure and points as the basic building blocks of her work, and her art tended toward constructive artistic expression. However, the central theme was the depiction of people and landscapes, touching on personal inner themes and experiences of nature. The exhibition will show a selection of the author’s graphic works, perforated prints, metal matrices, and assemblages from her most recent period of work.

Stanislav Tůma – Chiaroscuro Prague
09. 11. 2025 — 12. 04. 2025

Stanislav Tůma – Chiaroscuro Prague

Stanislav Tůma (1950–2005) is best known as a photographer inspired by the poetic setting of Prague’s Malá Strana and Hradčany districts, which in urbanistic terms embody the subtle complexities of cultural history and human memory. This intimate exhibition at GASK focuses on Tůma’s fascination with the phenomenon of chiaroscuro, in other words the symbolic contrasting of light and shadow. It is being staged in tribute to a major figure of modern Czech photography in the year marking the twentieth anniversary of his death and what would have been his seventy-fifth birthday.

New permanent exhibition – Through the Labyrinth

New permanent exhibition – Through the Labyrinth

On Saturday 29 June 2024, the Gallery of the Central Bohemian Region opened a new permanent exhibition of works from its collection. The exhibition’s non-historical approach follows on its successful predecessor, States of Mind / Beyond the Image, which in 2015 won the prestigious national Gloria Musaealis award. The new exhibition, conceived as an invitation to wander Through the Labyrinth, was loosely inspired by the book The Hero with a Thousand Faces by the American ethnologist and religious scholar Joseph Campbell (1904–1987), whose work explored the shared foundations of myths, fables and religious teachings.
