Jiří Matějů Utopia 06.11.–12.12. 2015 Hauch Gallery, Prague
Curator: Monika Čejková
Photos: Martin Polák
The exhibition at Hauch Gallery features selected works by painter Jiří Matějů dating from the last two years. Jiří Matějů is a solitary figure on the Czech scene, working quietly and intently on developing his own unique artistic style and presenting himself at exhibitions mainly outside the center of activity of prominent art galleries. The basic building blocks of Matějů’s paintings are color and line, whose resulting composition may look technicist at first glance, but in each structure there is an imprint of human dimension. It is revealed through a play with the sense of sight.
